My FOID card was Denied. What do I do now?

[Molly B.]

It depends on why it was denied.

My FOID card was Denied. What do I do now?

PURPLE On: I'm moving out of state, so I can sell you mine !

[InterestedBystander]

My FOID card was Denied. What do I do now?

Too little info...denied on a purchase as invalid? Card application denied? Existing card revoked? Details please!

[Terry 9595]

Did you apply for a ccl? If so, if you have an old foid, they will invalidate the old one to give you a new one

Not enough info. 0P if you want help you're going to have to reply. Edited November 13, 2016 at 05:54 AM by spec5

If it was outright Denied then ISP had a valid reason, they are as fair as it gets when it comes to FOIDS. If you qualify, they send it. nothing in between.

That does does not answer his question of what does he do now. Still waiting for more details.

[Jcogdell]

I just saw all the posts. Thanks for replying. I sent off for my first FOID and it was Denied Thursday. No details yet. Someone told me if I made a mistake on it or my picture was insufficient they could deny. True?

[Jcogdell]

This was my first time applying. I have already taken my CCL class and was ready to send that it when I got my denial. How do I know why it was Denied as I called and they said they didn't have that info.

[Molly B.]

You should receive a letter stating the reason for the denial. Once you have that, we can figure out what you need do next.

[Jcogdell]

Thanks. I am so glad I have yall to go to for help cause I don't understand this at all.

Did you answer "yes" to any of the questions other than the US citizen one?

[Monty80]

First rule of FOID denial... Appeal.

[Jcogdell]

To Noone. I am pretty sure I didn't answer yes, but I may have gone to fast and checked yes by mistake. No felonies or anything like that.

[Bubbacs]

So you checked the web site and it says "Denied"?

And since no one else told you, please don't take the CCL class until you get this resolved!

I'd hate to see you waste the class money before it is cleared up, just saying, it is a hefty fee.

 

It may take a few weeks to get that letter which MollyB is talking about, a neighbor got one last weeek.

 

Be sure to PM MollyB when you get it, she is the best at dealing with the ISP!

 

Hang in there, and Welcome to the forums......

This is true yes. If the address doesn't match what's on your DL, not enough address history or errors in said history it can be denied.

I don't think that's true. I know that CCL apps with missing or incorrect information are "rejected," not "denied." I see no reason why the FOID would be any different.

Good point. We need clarification on what the ISP website says whether denied or rejected.

[Jcogdell]

It was DENIED not REJECTED. How do I PM Molly B? I am 100% new to any forum but I knew you would be my best hope. Unfortunately I already paid for and took my CCL soo that money is gone for now. I just hope I can get this resolved because I am a "solid citizen" and I have no clue why the card was denied.

You can PM (private message) anyone here by clicking on their name that appears on the bar just above their post. In this case go the post #12 in this thread and click on "Molly B". That will take you to her profile page. On the right side of the page are 3 boxes, one of which is labelled "Message Me". Click on that icon.

I'm confused - Isn't the training certificate good for a certain period of time? Why would the FOID being denied negate that money spent? There were several in my class that hadn't yet applied/received their FOIDS.

[Jcogdell]

I was saying that in the event they deny my foid for good, at that point it's 200 bucks I can't get back. I just hope I can get this straightened out.

According to post #11, his application for a FOID was denied. He has already taken the CCL class. If he is never able to receive a FOID, he will not be eligible for a CCL. This is the risk that those taking a CCL class without first applying and receiving a FOID take. Most have no problem taking the class without having a CCL, but there are no guarantees.

[RandyP]

I guess about all that instructors could do to eliminate the problem down the road for any future folks is to require a FOID upfront? Good for the student but a potential loss of $$$ for instructors.

[Jcogdell]

Absolutely! I am glad I was able to take my CCl before having a FOID but I also didn't think there was any chance of being denied. If I had it to do again, I would wait but hignsight is 20/20. I am just anxious to get my denial in the mail and know how to proceed. Thanks to everyone for the help! I'll keep you posted.

I am not sure if that would be the best answer. Based on what I have seen on other posts, most have no problem doing the class before receiving their FOID. They do receive their FOID and CCL. It does seem to speed up the process of going from nothing to finally getting the CCL. We do not know why the OP's application was denied for now, whether an error in filling out and submitting the application, an administrative error, or something else.

An instructor demanding a FOID may be delaying the right of self-defense for someone,

[Jcogdell]

Still no Denial in the mail...UGGGHHH

[Monty80]

Jcogdell, check your PM's.
