New Online Application System for Firearms

Effective immediately the Riverside Police Department will no longer distribute paperwork related to firearms for:
  • Initial Firearms Purchaser Identification Card
  • Application to purchase a handgun
  • Change of Name on Identification Card
  • Change of Address on Identification Card
  • Change of Sex on Identification Card
  • Lost or stolen Identification Card
  • Mutilated Identification Card
Those applications are now completed online at:  The New Jersey State Police Firearms Application and Registration System.  If you are a Riverside resident, you will need to enter NJ0033100 when prompted for our ORI number.  Please follow all instructions carefully to avoid delays and re-submission fees.
