Prepaid gift cards work fine.

Did you reapply from scratch? I thought I had read for bad certs they gave you a chance just to upload a corrected cert via a fix link. Previous posts have indicated it usually does not pick up at existing day count but may start over. I could be wrong since Ive never dealt with that. Sadly at the quality control data verification step, you may not be that far along in the process anyway.

Director Brendan F. Kellyhttps://isp.illinois.gov/DirectorI was being sarcastic, the point is "how does anyone actually communicate with him besides letters and faxes that are not acknowledged? Now, you have me thinking, I will ask Governor Pritsker whom is relatively accessible, to contact him. My expectation is that most likely Kelly is not actually signing and receiving those, but rather office personnel and/or a chief of staff.

Be aware, two different things... ..."Expungement and sealing are two different options that remove records from public view. Expungement erases the record so that it's like it never happened. Sealing means that it is just hidden from most of the public's view, but certain agencies and employers can still see it"... -
As the clown said... FOID is $5; CCL is $75 (and I assume the extra ever so helpful convenience fee %) .... 430 ILCS 65/13.2) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-13.2) Sec. 13.2. Renewal; name or address change; replacement card. 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 instructions for renewal. It is the obligation of the holder of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card to notify the Department of State Police of any address change since the issuance of the Firearm Owner's Identification Card. Whenever any person moves from the residence address named on his or her card, the person shall within 21 calendar days thereafter notify in a form and manner prescribed by the Department of his or her old and new residence addresses and the card number held by him or her. Any person whose legal name has changed from the name on the card that he or she has been previously issued must apply for a corrected card within 30 calendar days after the change. The cost for a corrected card shall be $5. The cost for replacement of a card which has been lost, destroyed, or stolen shall be $5 if the loss, destruction, or theft of the card is reported to the Department of State Police. The fees collected under this Section shall be deposited into the State Police Firearm Services Fund. (Source: P.A. 100-906, eff. 1-1-19.) .... 430 ILCS 66/55) Sec. 55.

Well, your card is still valid now and they should take, but tough to say. I get them wanting to be careful and not risk license. It's a matter of the FFL policies. When the Covid rules first started, many would still not accept a card past its printed expired date but I havent read that lately. Dealers are required to check FOID card and they can see its active and Covid rules should be familiar now but a dealer may decline to sell ammunition and/or a firearm if they so choose. Policies on this will vary from store to store

Supporting members $25/yr are allowed to edit posts longer than a few minutes after posting. As mentioned, start with the DL and going forward make sure all data matches. Your original sequence is probably least risky but will probably also take the longest. New applications seem to be taking priority over renewals as they are still active and I would not be surprised by other items...some are reporting 6mo+ for things like an address change. ISP previously had a Q&A about doing an address change on FOID/CCL together if both were near expire dates but I cant find that any more. The CCL address change link goes nowhere except the login page. On the FSB portal, is your FOID renewal button active? Hmmm, on the FAQ, the ISP has extended active cards to 18 months from 12 months...

I thought I was the only one getting these letters. You must be under board review too? They need to speed this up, especially if they have the new members now.heck yeah... from what I read here once it says just under review it means they are actually looking at it... Im patient but damm.. friend of mine said his was like this for almost 2 years then all of a sudden his card just showed up in the mail smh Going under review from board review should mean the board has overruled objection and approved you so the ISP is now proccessing the application.

I thought I was the only one getting these letters. You must be under board review too? They need to speed this up, especially if they have the new members now. The multiple repeat 30 day letters for UBR have been going on forever. Its been discussed and tried to get changed with the position they only get one 30 day extension. With the backlog, no idea or public announcements of how often/when the board meets, the anti gun JBP, ISP director and ILGA, nothing is happening with those changes that I have heard about. When they get around to it, most objections get overturned.

My understanding is a lost card is pretty much a reprocessing as new application. 90/120 days by statute, 140+ days if you are lucky but dont be surprised by a much longer wait.
-
its a foid application and it says 30 days on foid page. Sorry, you are correct. 30 calendar days for new FOID apps and 60 business days for renewals
-
Application for....FOID?....CCL? I assume FOID since we discussed the record setting application volumes back when the story was published. The ISP has 60 30 (whoops) calendar days to processs new applications by statute. There are multiple state databases that get checked as well as Federal ones and potentially manual investigation. It may be pinned, but at one point I think the procedure manual was posted to the board.

Taking the OP specifics out of the question and talking felonies and prohibited gun ownership in general, can being convicted of an IL felony not cause prohibition at the Federal side of things per the ATF item below? ...ATF Questions... Prohibited Persons/NICS Denials: 1. I have been convicted of a felony. How do I reinstate my rights to possess a firearm? Persons who have been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(20), are prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Felons whose convictions have been set-aside or expunged, or for which the person has been pardoned or has had civil rights restored are not considered convicted under section 922(g)(1), unless that person was expressly prohibited by the law of the jurisdiction in which the proceedings were held from possessing firearms. Persons convicted of a State offense should contact the State Attorney Generals Office in the State in which they reside and the State of the conviction for information concerning State and local firearms restrictions, and any alternatives that may be available, such as a gubernatorial pardon or civil rights restoration. A list of State Attorney General contact numbers may be found at http://www.naag.org/. If your conviction is for a Federal offense, you would regain the ability to lawfully receive, possess, or transport firearms if you receive a Presidential pardon. You can find additional information about such pardons by contacting the Office of the Pardon Attorney online at www.usdoj.gov/pardon/. The GCA includes a provision that gives ATF authority to grant relief from Federal firearms disabilities. 18 U.S.C. § 925©. However, since 1992, ATFs annual Congressional appropriation has prohibited ATF from expending any funds to investigate or act upon applications for relief from Federal firearms disabilities submitted by individuals. As long as this provision is included in ATF appropriations, ATF cannot act upon such applications for relief... -
...Illinois State Police say as of Thursday, they have more than 5,300 pending firearm transfer inquiry program requests. State Rep. Brad Halbrook, R-Shelbyville, said aside from calls about problems with unemployment, his office is flooded with frustrated calls from constituents upset they’re Second Amendment rights are being infringed upon. And it’s not just gun owners. “I got an email from a gun shop owner just a few days ago, there was eight or 10 transactions on there that were 10 days-plus old,” Halbrook said. “That doesn’t really help in times like this. They think that they are intentionally being throttled back on those kinds of things.” ISP said there’s about a seven business day average wait for the FTIP requests to be processed....
