After the filing of an application, and before a license is issued, the applicant must fully complete the Township of Pennsauken affidavit, notarized by a notary not affiliated with the Township Clerk's office. New applicants who have not conducted a raffle within the Township will be required to complete the background check. A background check will not be conducted until a full completed background check form has been filed by the applicant with the Clerk. The applicant is solely responsible for the truthfulness and accuracy of information reported on the background check form. Compliance with this requirement is mandatory and non-waiverable.
