DRW Posted September 22, 2019 at 02:14 PM Posted September 22, 2019 at 02:14 PM Does anyone know how much in advance you can start the process to renew before it expires? Thanks.
THE KING Posted September 22, 2019 at 02:19 PM Posted September 22, 2019 at 02:19 PM If I remember correctly I believe that the RENEW icon appears on your page on the ISP website 90 days prior to your expiration.

HDUC10 Posted September 22, 2019 at 02:41 PM Posted September 22, 2019 at 02:41 PM What The King said. I'm in process of my FOID renewal and the renewal button appeared 90 days ahead of expiration.
Arch1GLK Posted October 5, 2019 at 05:11 PM Posted October 5, 2019 at 05:11 PM Having trouble renewing FOID. Logged in as new user since last time was 2015.Screen shows correct email address, yet states email has been taken.Tried to enter "forgot password" and now will not let me go further.Am I missing something or do I have to contact via phone as they claim?
Bubbacs Posted October 5, 2019 at 05:27 PM Posted October 5, 2019 at 05:27 PM If you made a new account you will need a new e-mail account as the old one is being used!It’s taken due to you using it already Create a new e-mail with a web based service, they are almost all free.Then get the info you need You might even have to start from scratch.........IANAL
Arch1GLK Posted October 6, 2019 at 04:35 AM Posted October 6, 2019 at 04:35 AM Weird that I cannot be identified by the same email address.Thanks will try again

Buzzard Posted October 19, 2019 at 09:41 PM Posted October 19, 2019 at 09:41 PM An elderly friend (without computer or email account) needed to correct his FOID address. He was advised by a gun shop to wait because his FOID card was needing to be renewed in a month. So he waited and renewed in the middle of July, with his new address and still hasn't received his card.What is the current waiting time for renewed cards?Thanks.
Bubbacs Posted October 20, 2019 at 03:04 AM Posted October 20, 2019 at 03:04 AM If he doesn’t have e-mail or computer how does he renew? Did he somehow call the ISP and get forms sent out?

He had it renewed at the local gun shop.Then I’d go back there and see what’s up.They would have needed to set him up an account and sent it in. Check back with them as it sounds like a click didn’t take or another issues popped up and they just ignored it!
InterestedBystander Posted October 20, 2019 at 08:05 PM Posted October 20, 2019 at 08:05 PM Renewal FOIDS have 60 business days for processing. If submitted before expiration, card remains active. IMO, needs to get to a computer, log in to FOID portal and check on fee receipt and card status.
Buzzard Posted October 21, 2019 at 09:14 PM Posted October 21, 2019 at 09:14 PM Renewal FOIDS have 60 business days for processing. If submitted before expiration, card remains active. IMO, needs to get to a computer, log in to FOID portal and check on fee receipt and card status. If you note in my first post, he needed to correct his address due to his FOID card and his state ID having different addresses listed. He had purchased an M1 Garand with my help before I became aware of the conflicting addresses. A different gun shop would not complete the transfer due to the conflicting addresses and said we'd have to correct this before they'd approve the transfer of the rifle. Then ... before we got this cleared up ... he made a silent bid on a rifle at a NRA function and ended up as the winning bid ... further jamming himself up. The gun shop has said that they've seen renewals take 70 to 90 days to arrive due to under staffing, etc. and that they would look into the current status of the renewal application should we request such. This would require me to drive some distance to his residence to achieve this, so again I'm asking .... What are the current wait times for renewals to arrive?
Bubbacs Posted October 21, 2019 at 11:45 PM Posted October 21, 2019 at 11:45 PM Renewals according to most all posts on this web site state 60 to as high as 90 days There is no clear and precise answer, ymmv

And I realize that at best, i's a guessing game (ymmv). I just hope that it's not because of he has a state ID and not a drivers license. He's broken no laws, he just doesn't drive anymore.How can the state justify a driver license as a requirement to exercise the Second Amendment?
Bubbacs Posted October 22, 2019 at 02:19 AM Posted October 22, 2019 at 02:19 AM Looking at your post count now you already know the next text Ill type! lol Your best bet is to PM MollyB with ALL the information you canShe will be the only one with a direct contact to ISP This would be best as we, the posters herein really can only pass along information we have Give MollyB a shout, she has been known to work miracles. Damn sleep check

Damn sleep check Yes, I do know MollyB's capabilities and I also have her number saved in my phone. We've met many times over the years, as I used to be much more active in the gun rights movement before the accident that left me handicapped. But I also know how busy she is and I feel that her time and attention is not necessary at this point. At best, this will work itself out very shortly, as the wait time is at the maximum expected. At worst, things may go south and it will indeed require MollyB's knowledge and expertise. Only time will tell. But thanks again, Bubbacs. I know you're trying to help as much as possible.
BigDave58 Posted October 23, 2019 at 02:24 AM Posted October 23, 2019 at 02:24 AM What a wonderful state. 60 days today that I renewed my FOID, and still nothing.
Buzzard Posted October 25, 2019 at 01:20 AM Posted October 25, 2019 at 01:20 AM What a wonderful state. 60 days today that I renewed my FOID, and still nothing.It's funny (not really, long wait) you should post this. My elderly friend and I went back to the gun shop where he renewed. It turns out it's only been not quite sixty days instead of the ninety he ad told me. He had said it was mid July and the shop said it was Sept 2 when the application went in. And the ISP website says it's still under review. One never knows what these eighty some year old men are up to with these FOID cards.
unsigned Posted October 30, 2019 at 11:15 PM Posted October 30, 2019 at 11:15 PM What a wonderful state. 60 days today that I renewed my FOID, and still nothing.I was up for CCW renewal early in the year. Took 111 days to go active in the portal. Barely 3 months later I moved...Took about a month to get the FOID change of address, I’m assuming I’ll get the new CCW permit around Christmas.
Talonap Posted January 19, 2020 at 10:28 PM Posted January 19, 2020 at 10:28 PM Quick question of which I can't find the answer. Where does the,"Renew", button appear on the FOID portal 90 days before expiration when I log in?
IronSam Posted January 20, 2020 at 04:31 PM Posted January 20, 2020 at 04:31 PM Renew will appear on your account dashboard. I also got a letter from ISP notifying me of renewal at around 90 days prior to expiration. Did my renewal online the next day and it was right on the day of expiration to receive my card.Funny part is that I had just gone through my CCL renewal a month prior and it came around a week after it expired. I would think the CCL vetting should have sped up the FOID process.
Dave D Posted January 20, 2020 at 07:31 PM Posted January 20, 2020 at 07:31 PM Im at 95 days total, still in process or under review...

Maybe where the, "Active" thingy appears now?
stitch58 Posted January 23, 2020 at 03:28 AM Posted January 23, 2020 at 03:28 AM Finally as of 1-21-2020 my status has changed to Active Issued. 78 days! Now lets see when it arrives in the mail. It was a renewal, this process shouldn't take this long. Considering I've had a FOID for many years dating back to the late 70's. We are all background checked every night that have a FOID and FCCL card. They have my fingerprints on record for when I first got my FCCL. Renewed that in 09/18, and I might add was a faster turnaround time. Hopefully the state will be able to allocate the funds for the manpower and equipment to enhance this process. Good luck everyone and I'll be watching my mailbox.

stitch58 Posted January 24, 2020 at 02:23 AM Posted January 24, 2020 at 02:23 AM Will miracles ever cease? Today my Renewed FOID Card arrived in the mail. It only took 79 business days ! Yesterday the status showed Active and issued as of 1/21/2020. I'm glad it's over, some people I understand are waiting 90 days or more so I shouldn't complain.
