Appeal to director; hearing; relief from firearm prohibitions. Whenever an application for a Firearm Owner's Identification Card is denied, whenever the Department fails to act on an application within 30 days of its receipt, or whenever such a Card is revoked or seized as provided for in Section 8 of this Act, the aggrieved party may appeal to the Director of State Police for a hearing upon such denial, revocation or seizure, You will need to send a letter to the director and request a hearing on why your FOID was not issued within the 30 day time frame (60 business days for a renewal) prescribed by law. In the letter, give your full legal name, date of birth, FOID number or application number, and the date you submitted the application for your FOID card. What usually happens is once the director sees there is no reason to delay the FOID card, they simply process and issue. If, on the rare occasion you are granted a hearing, it is usually a meeting with an administrative judge appointed by the ISP, you may be able to do that as a teleconference or may need to travel to Springfield. You can have an attorney with you, if you think you need one. Send this all via a mail service that will provide you with a signed receipt of delivery to: Director Brendan Kelly Illinois State Police 801 S. 7th Street Springfield, IL 62703 Request for Administrative hearing.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cls74 Posted September 15, 2021 at 10:09 PM Share Posted September 15, 2021 at 10:09 PM Renewed: 11/27/20 for 02/01/21 expiration Went active: unknown(stopped checking) Issued: 9/7/21 Received: 9/15/21 Total wait time: 292 days Only positive is my renewal date is now 8/26/31 so received an extra 6 months and 25 days from my previous renewal date. Hopefully, with any luck this will be my last FOID card ever. ED Sullivan seems to think a current ISRA case pending in the courts will abolish the FOID. Time will tell on that one.

She has helped a LOT of people here and asks nothing for herself. One way people can help is to become supporting members here to allow Molly to continue to do her important work.

JTHunter Posted October 26, 2021 at 01:11 AM Share Posted October 26, 2021 at 01:11 AM My FOID expired 8/1/21 and, with some help from Molly (Thanks Molly!!), I was able to complete the process of setting up my account/ID with the FSB and renewing my card tonight. Now the "fun" begins. Anybody care to make a wager on how long it takes for this card to become active? Or to be in my hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a renewal, this might make some sense. For the month of October, 2021, the average renewal time was at (an astounding) 39 (38.91) days. This could have been because the ISP selected more recent applications to process, or (hopefully) the ISP is though the FOID renewal backlog and we are returning back to a new normal.

ilphil Posted November 22, 2021 at 12:07 AM Share Posted November 22, 2021 at 12:07 AM Submitted renewal on 11/2/2021. According to ISP website new FOID issued 11/9. Still no sign of it in my mailbox. With the current state of the USPS, not going to worry for a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly B. Posted November 22, 2021 at 12:29 AM Share Posted November 22, 2021 at 12:29 AM Unfortunately, ISP has not resolved the backlog of renewals - I still have folks who renewed in 2020 who have not received their cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cargo Posted December 23, 2021 at 06:18 PM Share Posted December 23, 2021 at 06:18 PM Here is a timeline of my renewal in case someone is following their recent renewal. 12/8/2021 This is the first day the Renew button was displayed. Although my FOID wouldn't expire for about 110 days I was able to go through the complete renewal process online. When I was finished I received the message: "Thank you for using the online portal for submitting your FOID application. The Illinois State Police will process your application within 30 days for a new FOID application and 60 business days for a FOID renewal application. These timelines are contingent upon application information being accurate, complete and compliant with state requirements. Please allow an additional 7-10 business days for printing and mailing time." I did go back and look at the original logon screen and now it showed: Status: UNDER REVIEW "We have received your submission and your payment was successful. We have not yet reviewed any aspect of your application. It is in the verification queue." 12/11/2021 Status: UNDER REVIEW “Your submission successfully completed the background review and has been sent to await printing.” 12/17/2021 Status: ACTIVE Issued 12/13/2021 “Your card is valid. If your card was recently issued, it is on its way to you. Please allow time for printing and mailing. Please contact our office if you have not received the card within 45 days of the issue date.” 12/23/2021 Received new card in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc2111 Posted December 23, 2021 at 07:51 PM Share Posted December 23, 2021 at 07:51 PM I applied for my renewal in June (no fingerprints) and received notification at the end of December that I my CCL had been renewed. Just a heads up as some may be wondering as to the wait times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTHunter Posted January 1, 2022 at 07:59 PM Share Posted January 1, 2022 at 07:59 PM Applied for renewal 10/25. Just checked the portal and it still says "under review". The "60 business days" is almost up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
