FOID renewal time limit?


Recommended Posts

My FOID card expires in just under a year at this point, and out of idle curiosity (and "ha ha they take forever, maybe I should do this now") I logged into the ISP site to check on the renewal process. I see my FOID and my CCL both listed, both have "renew" buttons that are faded out and I see a "no" symbol when I put the cursor on them.

 

I get the CCL button not being active, do I have to be within a certain range of the expiration before the FOID renewal button lights up? I had checked in the summer and thought maybe it was 365 days, but obviously not.

When they were sending out renewals, it was based on a 60 day notice.

(430 ILCS 65/13.2) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-13.2)

Sec. 13.2. The Department of State Police shall, 60 days prior to the expiration of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card, forward by first class mail to each person whose card is to expire a notification of the expiration of the card and an application which may be used to apply for renewal of the card.

A customer of mine lost his wallet - with his FOID in it.

 

I helped him with the online portal (he has no clue about posting pictures), and he called a week later to ask the status.

 

They told him at least 30 days, probably because the NICS check they run on all of us every single day isn't enough, you know...
