I decided to use the mail in method. About 10 days after mailing I received my completed form and a sticky note stating I failed to include a firearms license needed for the other choices I made. To fix the error it said I needed to choose the firearms option and submit another check with the correct amount.

With my contact information on the form (email & phone), I wondered why I wasn't contacted so I could simply purchase the firearms license online and then they could process my request?

I called the DEP and asked the question. The person I spoke with said they didn't have time to contact people with issues and mail them back. Then why bother filling out contact info???

I checked the DEP website today and everything is all set.
