Applications for Police Department Permits
Firearms
The New Jersey State Police (NJSP) Firearms Investigation Unit has mandated the statewide activation of the Firearms Application and Registration System (FARS).
The activation of FARS will allow firearms applications to be created and submitted online.
To apply for firearms licensing you must access the portal by visiting: www.njportal.com/NJSP/fars
To apply for a Permit to Carry a handgun please visit: https://www.njportal.com/NJSP/ConcealedCarry/
Concealed Carry Permit applicants please note: There is a fee of $50 to the NJ State Police that is payable via the above website. An additional fee for a State Police name check may also apply.
There is also a fee of $150 payable to the Township of Montclair that must be paid in person at the Police Department Records window (Check or money order only, NO CASH)
IMPORTANT:
Once you have submitted your FARS application, you must respond to Police Headquarters, 647 Bloomfield Avenue, in order to pay the non-refundable fee for the requested licensing as required. This may be done on weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Applicants must provide photo identification and proof of residence at this time. Applications will not be processed until identification is verified and payment is received.
Failure to provide ID and/or make payment within 90 days of application submission date will result in your application being withdrawn. Although you may re-apply, NJSP/FARS fees are not refundable for withdrawn applications.

Alarm Registration – Do you have an alarm system?
If your answer is YES, please be aware that the Township of Montclair has a burglar and fire alarm ordinance (Ordinance 06-16) which helps us improve our ability to provide emergency services.
All alarm systems which, when actuated, produce an external audible or visual signal or automatically notify a central station, such as independent burglar, hold-up, fire or panic alarms must be registered.
You may register your alarm online at the Township of Montclair False Alarm Reduction Program site. This site will answer all questions regarding the alarm registration process. Here you will be able to register an alarm or pay a fine.
