For more than a year, backlogs of processing applications for Illinois Firearm Owner Identification cards and Concealed Carry Licenses persists. The most recent data through December from Illinois State Police has the average wait time for new FOID cards at 122.5 days and about the same for CCL applicants that provide fingerprints. Its supposed to be 30 days for FOID and 90 days for CCL. ISP said as of Jan. 19, there were 175,751 new FOID applications and 25,518 CCL backlogged. Illinois State Police say emergency rules allow for FOID cards and CCLs to be valid while the backlog is processed. The emergency rule providing for the 18-month extension of FOID card and CCL renewals went into effect on September 3, 2020, replacing the previous 12-month extension, ISP said on its website. The ISP Firearms Services Bureau encourages FOID cardholders and CCL holders to keep a copy of their confirmation from their submitted renewal application as additional verification of compliance."
