  1. My grandson is 11 and has a FOID. All you have to do is fill out the online application and when you put in the birthday you are presented with a guardian form to submit. As stated our FOID numbers go up. I also feel everyone in the family should have a FOID if one person has one regardless of whether you like the FOID requirement or not. It alleviates problems if the owner passes away and other things that you can't predict.

  2. Hi, I JUST applied for my daughter (age 7). She does not currently have a state ID. This is a better deal as you pay $10 for a 10 year ID vs $10 for a 5 year state ID. Not to mention all the benefits of having the FOID. I believe if the minor currently has a state ID you can do it over the web access portal. Otherwise you have to call the ISP number and do the application over the phone for a minor. The number is: 217-782-7980. Once you speak with an agent, they will take the necessary information and then mail you two separate items. One will be the FOID application which will have a spot for his mother (as the sponsor) to sign as well as the applicant. If the applicant cannot sign, you will need to send a birth certificate, I believe. The second form is a minor affidavit form. His mother (as the sponsor) will need to sign this and have it notarized. They will take the payment initially over the phone as well. If you do not have a state ID, you will need to include a picture to use as well. I used a passport photo for my daughter which was taken at Walgreens.

     

    Once complete, send them back to the address on the envelope and wait....that's the part I am at so I can't give you my experience on time to completion, but should be the 30 day window...should be.... I literally dropped it in the mail this morning so I'm hoping to have it in a month.

     

    Hope that helps!

     

    Edit: clarified that his mother is the sponsor and not you.

    It sure does help thanks. I will pass on the information.
  3. I believe that minors without ID's or DL's are the exception to the SoS/DMV photo use, and requires a paper application, but I may be mistaken.

    When I read required to apply this is what it said. They didn't say however how to send the signed affidavit from the parent. So maybe a paper application is the way to do it.

     

    1 A Valid Driver’s License or State Identification card.

    2 A head and shoulder electronic photograph taken within the last 30 days.

    3 $10.00 payable with a credit card or electronic check.

    I know some have gone through this before so Id like to know what information is needed for applying for a FOID card for my grandson who is 10. His mom will complete form. Thanks.

    FOID Frequently Asked Questions

    3. Minor Applicants

    Can I apply for a FOID Card if I am not 21 years of age?

    If I am not 21 years of age, but I am married, can my spouse sign as my sponsor?

    If I am not 21 years of age, my parents are not living, but I am over the age of 18, can I apply for a FOID Card?

    If the minor applicant cannot sign the application, can the parent sign it?

    Thanks so much. Now his mom will have to take him to the DMV to get a state ID. She is challenging him to get all As and maybe a B on his report card for an incentive. Thanks again
  5. I'm posting this because I have seen other posts in regard to wait times, mailing times etc. for FOID.

    My FOID expires on 7/1/18. I got an e-mail from the ISP letting me know my FOID was going to expire.

    I applied / renewed on 4/17/18 and the new FOID showed up in the mail yesterday (05/12/18) with an issue date of 05/09/2018.

    The FOID# on the new card is same as the old card except for "14" was placed before the FOID number. Now it matches the number on my CCL.

     

    Same for me I applied when I got the email that said my FOID expires on 7/1 and got mine yesterday with an issue date of 5/9
