I'm surprised the list of "substantially similar states" wasn't limited to MA, NY, NJ & CA to be honest. Similar to how Massachusetts has its approved firearm rosters, which manufacturers must go out of their way to appease, resulting in most brands deciding that "selling in Massachusetts isn't worth the hassle," I'm sure Illinois sending out its laundry list of requirements to other states results in even similar states not wanting to bother, which, in the end, is probably part of the desired outcome. Guys...the first thing I did when I moved to Indiana, less than a week in, was buy a transferable firearm and a suppressor.

Thanks Tim

Yeah, looks like I get boned. It is what it is I suppose... Substantially Similar States: The Illinois State Police sent a survey to each state to determine which of them have laws that are substantially similar. Currently, the only states considered to be substantially similar are Hawaii, New Mexico, South Carolina and Virginia.

Hello everyone, it's been a while. I've since moved to Indiana. My Illinois CCL is still active but will expire in six months. I need to accomplish two tasks: update my address to reflect my out-of-state residency and determine if I can convert my Illinois CCL to a non-resident CCL. I'm unsure of the correct order to proceed. Should I renew first, and is there an option to update my address during the renewal process? Or should I first use the 'edit name/address' function, wait for those changes to be processed, and then renew? It's great to see MollyB is still around; she's fantastic. I read her post but the out of state thing is making me wonder. _

It took me 7 days to receive the physical card. You should definitely be receiving it anyway now.

5/3/20 = Applied for FOID & CCL 9/30/20 = Active 10/7/20 = Both cards in hand 158 days For what it's worth Molly B. had to get involved or it honestly would have literally been who knows how many more months. I was stuck in the system for no apparent reason after calling the hotline and speaking to a general representative.
