No response.No response...no surprise. Renewals are 60 business days which is going to be around 12 weeks excluding holidays...so your 90 isnt too far off which is also what others have reported. CCL or C&R has no impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine the carry permit and the FOID into one card!I know some do not care but for me, people that see my FOID dont need to know I have a CCL. There was a task force to look into combining cards, dont remember if it also included DL but iirc, never went anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patthebunny Posted November 14, 2020 at 12:12 AM Share Posted November 14, 2020 at 12:12 AM Hello, Has anyone else experience over a year wait time for a FOID appeal? I'm going on 13 months and the ISP seems either completely uselessness or overwhelmed. Any advice on what I can do? Thanks All,Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly B. Posted November 15, 2020 at 04:10 PM Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 at 04:10 PM Hello, Has anyone else experience over a year wait time for a FOID appeal? I'm going on 13 months and the ISP seems either completely uselessness or overwhelmed. Any advice on what I can do? Thanks All,Patrick Yes, most appeals seem to be taking that long or longer. Sometimes it depends on the type of appeal. You might consider requesting an administrative hearing with the Director of the Illinois State Police . Sec. 10. Appeal to director; hearing; relief from firearm prohibitions. Whenever an application for a Firearm Owner's Identification Card is denied, whenever the Department fails to act on an application within 30 days of its receipt, or whenever such a Card is revoked or seized as provided for in Section 8 of this Act, the aggrieved party may appeal to the Director of State Police for a hearing upon such denial, revocation or seizure, You will need to send a letter to the director and request a hearing on the appeal you filed and give the date or approximate date you submitted your appeal the first time. In the letter, give your full legal name, date of birth, FOID number, and the date your FOID card was denied/revoked. Send a complete set of the appeal forms you already filed. If you are granted a hearing, which is usually a meeting with an administrative judge appointed by the ISP, you may be able to do that as a teleconference or may need to travel to Springfield. You can have an attorney with you, if you think you need one. Send this all via a mail service that will provide you with a signed receipt of delivery to: Director Brendan KellyIllinois State Police801 S. 7th StreetSpringfield, IL 62703 Please keep us posted on your progress.

patthebunny Posted January 14, 2021 at 03:23 PM Share Posted January 14, 2021 at 03:23 PM Molly - you're a God send! My card was reinstated this week after following your advice.

Smallbore Posted January 14, 2021 at 03:54 PM Share Posted January 14, 2021 at 03:54 PM My wife just recently had someone with the ISP service bureau not only pick up the phone but flat out claim that foid holders have 18 months after expiration date to "pay" and upload certificate. It is comforting to know we can trust all information coming out of bureaucracies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
