anita_g Posted August 9, 2022 at 02:21 PM Share Posted August 9, 2022 at 02:21 PM (edited) I could not be more frustrated right now. My renewal CC card was supposedly printed/mailed in June. Never received. Called, they printed another in July...never received. Getting ready to call again. They were so nice about it, and they're already overworked, but damn I need my card. All I have is expired FOID and CC now and so many places don't accept that. Once again this weekend I'll be places 90% of the time with no cell signal, so the "online ID" thing isn't convenient should I need it. I live alone in a single family home in a small town. I have no other problems with mail. No one else gets my mail. My mailbox is right next to my front door under the coverage of 2 security cameras from different systems. I have USPS informed delivery, which has never showed a card being about to be delivered. My word, is there some way to PAY to have your card sent with some sort of tracking? This is beyond frustrating. Edited August 9, 2022 at 02:25 PM by anita_g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted August 9, 2022 at 03:18 PM Share Posted August 9, 2022 at 03:18 PM So then you didn’t get your card in the mail today? There are threads about the missing cards. You might want to PM Molly B. But look at the other threads for answers as I’m not on a tablet or pc right now to browse. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand wanting your new card, but what's the problem? The ffl (and police) will simple run your old foid or ccl card number to verify you/them are valid to possess or make a purchase. They will have to do the very same thing each and every time once you get your knew card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anita_g Posted August 22, 2022 at 04:37 PM Share Posted August 22, 2022 at 04:37 PM This is EXACTLY what just happened - well, in a way becaue thank God I had forgotten my firearm in a rush. Was out hiking and got talking to a Conservation Officer about the park I was in and all. Then he asked me for ID. I remembered the lack of card and momentarily panicked. No cell coverage. I asked the guy what would have happened and he said a screen shot absolutely would not suffice because it has some sort of a time stamp on it and basically I was lucky I wasn't carrying. I am now beyond p***** about this. The point is - for the person who asked what the big deal is - I should have a card. I am entitled to a card. I shouldn't have to hassle over it. And actually, I just broke my phone last weekend, didn't have it backed up, and would have to go get a new screen shot. And I don't always have my phone. So I'm supposed to be required to carry my phone just because I didn't received my card, through no fault of my own? No. Who can be contacted? Attorney General? I am willing to pay whatever to actually receive my card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the officer will not accept the screen shot with your info then why would he accept the card with no more info and perhaps older info? I understand your concern and frustration but you do not seem to understand the new card doesn't prove you have a valid license. The Illinois State Police have stuck it to us all big time.

Probably because officers still think there's going to be an expiration date on a physical card. When they finally look at an actual card with no date, there are three things that could happen. They are so overcome with confusion that their brain shuts down. You grab your card and walk away while they reboot. They admit that oppressing you has become more effort than it's worth, so they let you go. They think your card is fake and arrest you for forging government documents.

Troym Posted October 8, 2022 at 01:03 PM Share Posted October 8, 2022 at 01:03 PM Processing times are at the bottom of this page: https://isp.illinois.gov/Foid Three of us applied for new CCL with fingerprints on Aug 14. Status changed to approved/printed Oct 3, and USPS informed delivery shows what I assume are them arriving today (Oct 8). Around 55 days from application to receipt. The attached image shows ISP published processing times for September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneGun Posted January 19, 2023 at 02:33 PM Share Posted January 19, 2023 at 02:33 PM Thanks @Troym and @oprtb for sharing your timelines. I'm 63 days in for my renewal and still in the verification que. I did not submit fingerprints, so I have 57 days remaining. I don't know the significance of 57 days remaining since I have seen posts here that days remaining can go negative. I also don't know if the FSB workflow is different for non-resident renewal applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veela Posted January 19, 2023 at 04:01 PM Share Posted January 19, 2023 at 04:01 PM So I did a renewal that expired on May 2020. Took since July to go active and now it's only good for a little over 2 years? Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It doesn't always work that way. I renewed early and lost time.) Because of the pandemic rules, your CCL is retroactively valid for the time it had previously expired.

CFREUND01 Posted September 18, 2023 at 03:30 AM Share Posted September 18, 2023 at 03:30 AM What is the consensus on ISP’s turnaround. I finally applied today for CCL and supplied finger prints today. Is the conceal carry like the FOID wherein it goes active before physically card shows up and can be generated on ISP website allowing carry if you can show a generated electronic copy vs physical license if necessary? When my FOID went active on ISP site I was able to use generated electronic copy to purchase a firearm w no issues. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
