TRJ Posted August 15, 2018 at 10:30 AM Share Posted August 15, 2018 at 10:30 AM Given the wait time for processing, is there a point where it's too soon and they won't accept the application? My FCCL expires before my FOID. I kind of want to reapply for both while renewing FCCL even though I'll lose a year or so on the FOID. As I get older I find keeping track of this stuff is troublesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya on trying to keep track of things like this. I actually sat down and made out a spreadsheet with all of the things I have that expire. It made things alot easier. Now I just have to remember to look at the spreadsheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted August 15, 2018 at 02:05 PM Share Posted August 15, 2018 at 02:05 PM For you old fogies with the cloudy memory, if you have a smart phone you can set a reminder to alert when time is near. Ask your kids/grand kids to set it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka Posted August 15, 2018 at 09:16 PM Share Posted August 15, 2018 at 09:16 PM Quick question if someone knows. When I renew my IL CCW card, (a) do you think I will get a new FOID and ( will the two expire at the same time. It is kind of silly that the two cards expire at different times and one has to track these dates. Of course ideally we should have only card. But ....

It is kind of silly that the two cards expire at different times and one has to track these dates. Of course ideally we should have only card. But ....They cant get FOID system to interchange with CCL system per Molly. (well, I suppose they could but they do not currently and thats more time and money.) Sadly, I fear a patch here, a patch there making it even more unmanageable in the future. And FOID renewal expire dates cut you short anyway from original expire date so as much sense as it makes for CCLS and FOIDs to coexpire in 5/10 year cycles, I dont see it happening anytime soon. Appriss software does other state CCL systems from what I recall, but its not like there are many states with FOIDS they have to base a model on.

Plinkermostly Posted August 16, 2018 at 12:50 PM Share Posted August 16, 2018 at 12:50 PM It would be a tad easier if they just dumped the FOID if you have a CCL. Ah, Ilannoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if they were issued together and expiring on the same month/day just 5 years apart it would be easier to manage and they would expire at the same time every 10 years.

FarmHand357 Posted August 19, 2018 at 12:16 AM Share Posted August 19, 2018 at 12:16 AM Are we supposed to remember our log in information from 4 yrs. ago? Probably. I have a file of logins and passwords because I, and am sure many others, have about a hundred. You should probably keep one too.... I'm sure there will probably be a link for those who forgot their password or possibly user ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedBystander Posted August 19, 2018 at 12:19 AM Share Posted August 19, 2018 at 12:19 AM Are we supposed to remember our log in information from 4 yrs. ago?If you have not logged in except for initial application, you may need to create a new login. Shortly after opened, the ISP finally got rid of the stupid Java client requirement that frustrated so many of us trying to submit. A new registration was required after that change.

THE KING Posted August 21, 2018 at 07:57 PM Share Posted August 21, 2018 at 07:57 PM The RENEW icon will be located in the bottom left corner of either the FOID or FCCL status box. Mine popped up and replaced the "Lost, stolen, address change" boxes that are currently there. You will see it as it was yellow in color if I remember correctly. It will look like the "Sign In" Icon on the Sign In screen when you log on to check your status. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0untZer0 Posted August 21, 2018 at 09:52 PM Share Posted August 21, 2018 at 09:52 PM Their website is horrible. I’m not sure if I created a new login after the initial digital ID or not and trying to reset a password or retrieve an account is a mess. I kept all of the information for my digital ID but that’s no if no use anymore. It would be easier for me to retrieve my bank account than an account not with the ISP I guess I’ll try to create an account, that’s one way to find out if I have an existing account or not.

When was your CCL issued, or you just referring to your FOID?90 days from now would be about Nov. 21. CCL applications were not accepted until 01/01/2014 and the first issue dates were 02/28/2014. I was part of that group. I just checked my CCL account and there is no renewal button. It is still too early for my FOID too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE KING Posted August 22, 2018 at 01:17 AM Share Posted August 22, 2018 at 01:17 AM I'm just talking about my FOID. The renewal icon was active for that 90 days prior to my expiration date. My FCCL expires in February 2019. I also checked today and the renewal icon for this has not been made active yet. I plan on checking regularly to see when it gets activated.
