Quick Answer: NJ SORA 30-Day Timeline
First-time NJ SORA applicants should coordinate training, the NJSP application and fingerprinting carefully so they do not miss the state application window. Do not start the process casually and then wait weeks to book class. Book training, follow the official NJSP instructions, and complete each required step on time.
