We do not offer a free shipping option at this time because we do not feel it is responsible to send out sensitive ID cards without any kind of way to track them. Standard first class mail is the only way we can do free shipping but the post office does not include any tracking numbers for first class mail. If it becomes lost in the mail, there is no recourse, no way to trace where it went and no way to find out where it was last.

The cheapest option that includes tracking is the Ground Advantage service. The cost is currently $5.25, which is outrageous, I know. We are only charging $4.80 and trying to absorb the rest of the cost for now.

Again, at this time I do not feel it is responsible to offer free shipping with no way to track the items if they go missing. That may change in the future. Also, free pickup in Freehold is always an option, just reach out to us and let us know before placing your order and we will invoice you with no shipping charges.

The font size is set by the issuing authority. I agree the font size could be bigger on most cards. However, that is not something we can adjust because of the layout. When you increase the font size, the entire layout of the card will change and it will become out of alignment.

No. There have been some several reports of some FFL dealers not accepting copies of yellow cards if they are not on the original paper.  While we cannot find anything in the law that states copies are not allowed, to avoid any legal issues with all involved we will not make the yellow cards. The new white versions are accepted by ALL FFL dealers on plastic or metal. This issue ONLY pertains to the older yellow FID cards (pre-2021). There are instructions on how to get your new white card below.

There are two ways to get your new card. The first is to apply for a replacement FID card on the FARS website. 

The second option you may have already done. If you applied for a permit to purchase a pistol within the last year you already have a new FID card which can be found in the approval email from the state. If you have not applied within the last year or if it has been over a year (the printable card files are removed from the state's system after a year), you can apply for another purchase permit and you will be issued another copy of your FID card (and you will be able to buy another pistol). All of that can be done right on the FARS website. 

Yes and No. Not for any kind of local, state or federal government issued ID card or permit of any kind.

We can make custom ID cards for businesses, concert venues, local sports teams, EMS, Fire Departments, etc. (EMS and Fire Departments will require written permission from a department head for verification)

Yes, everything on this website can legally be printed on plastic or metal and provided to law enforcement or FFLs as ID.  If there is ANY gray area on legality of duplication, we will not print it, no exceptions. This is to protect both of us. 

Social Security cards are legal to duplicate but are not generally accepted as a valid proof of ID. 

The following IDs are NOT legally allowed to be duplicated:

• Drivers Licenses
• Any PBA / FOP cards
• Police ID cards (except RPO cards issued by the state)

Yes! New version (2021 and newer), white FID card versions can be either scanned, photographed or screenshotted. 

Please note:  The older version of FID cards (pre-2021) can not be duplicated onto plastic. FFLs will not accept them on anything other than the original paper. 

The short answer is yes. If there are tears, scuffs, or marks on it that were not there when it was issued we can remove them. We can only restore them to the way they were initially issued to you. We can not add, remove, edit or change any information at all, including the photo, that was not there originally. 

Yes, of course! Feel free to send us a scan or photo of it to chad@njlibertycards.com and we will tell you if it’s worth it or not. 

This is not uncommon. Your order is still on the way, it is just delayed. We do not have any different access to the tracking information than we provide you, we see exactly what you see. The post office regularly bounces things around when one distribution center has reached its max capacity. If there is an error on the shipping label, and the post office is unable to deliver your package it will be returned to us eventually. Sometimes this can take several weeks. The mail is and how the post office handles the mail is beyond our control. The post office will generally not speak to the shipper when it comes to getting delivery information, they will only speak to the recipient. 

Yes, it is being shipped to whatever shipping address you entered at checkout. From time to time the post office may send items to different sorting facilities around the country (TX, CO, TN, FL, etc.). It will make it back to NJ eventually. Shipping can take anywhere from 2-15 days to arrive. 95% of orders arrive within 2-4 days. We have no control over the post office. 

The post office often marks things as delivered when they are running behind. Most times the package will be delivered on the following day or the day after that. 

If your items do not arrive on the next day or two, your local postmaster has an internal system (regular window tellers do not have access to it, only management) in which they can lookup the exact GPS coordinates of where the package was scanned as delivered. That will tell us the address they were delivered to. Unfortunately they will only speak to the recipient. They will not speak to me since I am the sender.  I will not be allowed to file a claim until 15 days after the shipping date.

Another instance is that the incorrect shipping address was entered upon checkout. Please check your order confirmation email to make sure the correct address was entered.  To eliminate human error on our end, we do not retype any addresses when printing shipping labels. They are generated directly from the address that was entered on checkout. If you see an error after your order is placed please let us know right away and we can correct it as long as it has not been mailed already. 

Cyber security is something we take very seriously therefore we have several protection redundancies in place.

The uploads are protected though shopify servers with end to end TLS encryption which is an updated and more secure version of the typical SSL encryption. This prevents any unauthorized access to the data in transit.

Once printing is completed, all files are digitally shredded using dedicated file destroying software with the US Department of Defense, DoD 5220.22-M (3 passes) algorithm and total verification.

Our computers themselves are behind a series of internal and external firewalls.

The printers themselves are not networked in any way, only locally connected.

We also have anti-spoofing email protections in place and several other security measures (intentionally vague).

No. We can not legally change anything, including the photo on any ID cards that are issued by the state or government. We can only print cards exactly the way they were issued to you. Any corrections or changes must go through the issuing agency. The cards we print must exactly match what the state has on file or your card will be void. 

NEVER. At no time will your information be collected and distributed to anyone, ever.

Applying for your FID or PTC is a straightforward and easy process that can be done online. We encourage anyone that is interested in protecting themselves and their loved ones, as well as exercising their second amendment rights to apply!

The first step is to apply for a firearms ID card and permit(s) to purchase a handgun. Both of those applications can be completed on the NJ FARS website.

If you already have a Firearms ID card and would like to apply for a permit to carry in NJ you can visit this section of the NJ FARS website.
