George72 Posted April 1, 2015 at 06:53 PM Share Posted April 1, 2015 at 06:53 PM I went active on March 26th and on March 30th I received my letter telling me my FOID # was changing to match my CCL #, anther letter with my new FOID card, and yet anther letter with my CCL. Yes all on the same day. Since it was only about 4:45pm I promptly loaded my gun, tucked the holster inside my waist band, holstered my gun put my jacket back on and went for about an hour long motorcycle ride just because I could... and because it was still above 45 degrees.

RealityCheck Posted April 2, 2015 at 07:23 PM Share Posted April 2, 2015 at 07:23 PM Applied without prints 2/9 Added prints 2/11 CCL Active 3/24 FOID Active with number matching CCL 3/27 Received the following in the mail between 3/28 and 4/1 (was travelling):- FOID letter about syncing FOID with CCL number- New FOID with number matching CCL- CCL card Keep in mind, even with the Illinois State Police dealing with a system conversion and the new policy of synchronizing the FOID and CCL numbers while my application was in-flight, they still had the card in my hands in under 60 days. I think that's commendable. Finally - I really can't thank the leadership of this group enough for everything you've done to protect our Second Amendment civil rights here in Illinois. So thank you.

apollo Posted April 17, 2015 at 02:22 PM Share Posted April 17, 2015 at 02:22 PM Yeah!! CCL went ACTIVE on 4/16 after 95 days. (no prints) As many have stated here my FOID # now matches my CCL # as seen on the ISP web site. When I run a check of my original FOID is does not show valid (I think this is a good thing as it would seem to indicate things are moving and new FOID has been issued in conjunction with the CCL, voiding the old one). If i understand the posts here I should now be expecting (via USPS) a new FOID and CCW cards. My question to the group is, what time frame should I be expecting these to show up? Do they typically show up together on the same mail run, or will the FOID show up first, followed up by the CCL? Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kster Posted April 19, 2015 at 08:55 PM Share Posted April 19, 2015 at 08:55 PM so with my FOID getting "pseudo invalidated" does this mean that i won't get a verifiable FOID until my CCL approves? 90 days out? i was wanting to do a private transfer today. does the ISP hotline's do a verbal verification or something if I have the seller call them? does that work legality wise for a private transaction?

Hope this helps someone else who hates waiting and gives you a time frame to look forward to. Hopefully ISP keeps things moving like this going forward. Again, I can not stress the gratitude I have for those who fought and fought to make this possible!!!!! I gotta go, it's time for the Wally Walk! Stay safe all.

junglebob Posted April 25, 2015 at 02:16 PM Share Posted April 25, 2015 at 02:16 PM My wife's FCCL application was submitted on 1/16 , without prints, and it arrived in the mail yesterday. Issue date was 3/22 . 96 days from application to issue, if I counted correctly. He also got a letter saying she will be getting a new FOID card and her FOID number has been changed from 8 to 10 digits. The FCCL number is 10 digits starting with 15. I'm wondering if the new FOID card number will be the same a the FCCL number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunandshottv Posted May 13, 2015 at 09:16 PM Share Posted May 13, 2015 at 09:16 PM After applying I found this forum which kept me in the loop on how long getting my CCW would take. I figured I'd register and post so the next guy has that same info I applied 2/1/15 w/o prints. I went Active 5/7/15 (96 Days) Card in hand 5/11/15 (100 Days) Still waiting on my new Foid.

This included changing the website application process, changing the CCW card design, changing the foid card design and now getting a new CCW means your old foid number is invalidated and updated. This is a copy of the letter I got informing me of the change.http://i.imgur.com/o5JlWo8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
