Finally got on the new ISP site to check Wife's FOID renewal status.

Sent renewal in 4-14-20, still shows under review. This is beyond aggravating.............

Well the renewal card application should still be good for up to 18 months post Covid declaration end although some stores policies do not recognize. They are processing new apps ahead of renewals so thats adding time to get processed and physical card. Patience...

What date is more relevant on a renewal? I reapplied 9 months ago and officially expired 6 months ago. I’m under COVID -19 rules but that doesn’t help me any if I try to purchase things, especially at a big box type store. Luckily my LGS understands the situation.

If you have a CCL, you are allowed to buy using that instead of FOID, but I suppose store policy might not let you do that either.

I’m waiting for that as well, a new application. It’s only been a month so it may be interesting to see what shows up first.

Well my foid shows active as of 12/4, hopefully it doesn't take another 6 months to mail.

If now showing active, I'd expect within a couple of weeks. They need to sort, batch then deliver cards (or get picked up) to USPS. And then you get the fun of USPS delivering to right address in a timely manner. Check out informed delivery at USPS.

My wife's FOID went active on Friday 12/04/20, 382 calendar days / 258 business days after renewing it on 11/18/19.

 

Many thanks to Molly for her help and tireless effort at dealing with all this behind the scenes!

6 months maybe but how in the world does it take over a year? There is no way for them to have a reasonable explanation for that...is there?

So, The Foid app i did for a friend finally went active today.

 

Submitted April 24th

No explanation was given, but given the speed of the response from the individuals involved, I have a suspicion it was just lost in somebody's inbox somewhere and thus overlooked.

 

Edit to add: I assume they don't have a way to alert someone to "Under Review" applications in date order, oldest applications first. This is desperately needed.

[Molly B.]

I have no confirmation of my supposition but I think sometimes an application or renewal gets hung up in the computer system and does not actually enter the cue to be reviewed. Once ISP is alerted to a FOID renewal taking more than even the extended time period, as in this case over a year, maybe it can be manually moved into cue. I am guessing here.

Decent software should produce info on items in queue, how long its been aged in queue, assign next one, etc. but maybe they dont even have that kind of software being used.

I helped a friend fill out his FOID application (new, not renewal). 4 months as of today he's been waiting. According to the website it hasn't even been touched yet. Ridiculous.

Is this a first time foid or renewal?

[Jwolf]

I tried to log on the ISP Website to renew my FOID card and couldn't log on. I tried 3 times and get the same message; "Can not log on at this time. Check your info to make sure it is correct and try again." I made 3 attempts with no success.

[Sol-Invictus]

Wife still has not received her renewed FOID, application completed in Feb, luckliy her CCL is still good.

[Russ S.]

My FOID expired 10/1/20. I applied for renewal and paid on 7/17/20. I am still showing under review. I have had a FOID card for 50 years without a lapse. I have a valid CCL (with fingerprints). This is ridiculous!

[jd3936]

My foid expired 4/1/2020. I applied/paid for renewal on 1/1/2020. Still showing as under review. This can't be normal, right?

No it isn’t normal but it is Illinois.

I wouldn't be surprised. I work in insurance software and the system we use to track things has MULTIPLE ways to lose things.

My wife applied on Sept. 5 2020 just went active Today Dec 11 2020. So about 93 days
