Joshcoolblue Posted April 5, 2018 at 01:15 PM Share Posted April 5, 2018 at 01:15 PM A little info on my situation: When I was 21 I got drunk one night and my sister called the cops and I went to the hospital to detox and I told the Dr I was going to hurt myself. I went through a lot of hard times especially after my mom committed suicide. (She jumped in front of truck on a highway while I was walking alongside her). Well fast forward to now 4/5/18 I applied for FOID on line through the IL State Police site and I was denied for "voluntary mental health admission" in 10/3/2011 . I got a degree in criminology and I'm looking to work in law enforcement so a FOID card is needed. I went to my doctor that is certified in IL and he mailed in the mental health certification to the ISP address. I mailed the FOID appeals and liability and investigation docs to ISP. I checked online and it still states "denied" Now my question is it's been 6.5 years or so do I also need a letter from a psychiatrist and all those notarized letters outlined in the mental health guideline sheet or is all that paperwork only required for <5 years ago for mental health admission? Sorry if this question has been asked already. I have called the ISP and I can never get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly B. Posted April 5, 2018 at 01:21 PM Share Posted April 5, 2018 at 01:21 PM No, you do not need to complete those other requirements. They are for those who have received mental health treatment within the past five years. Sorry for your tragic loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
