Stats Posted September 17, 2021 at 01:16 PM Share Posted September 17, 2021 at 01:16 PM Congrats on the card activation! There is an application available from the United States Postal Service that can allow you to track regular mail that is to be delivered to your residence. It is called informed delivery, and is available here https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action. With my renewal, the card was "scheduled" to be delivered on a Wednesday, and I got in on a Friday. If I did not get it on Friday, I had enough information (including a picture of the envelope) to initiate a claim with the USPS, as well as (if it was lost), documentation for the Illinois State Police to show that it was lost in the mail.

Interesting. I was already signed up for this service but basically never look at the mail section (I just check the package section). Sure enough on Wednesday it showed a envelope from the ISP was scanned. I have yet to actually get that piece of mail yet. Since yours was delayed until getting it, I will give it up to a week to see if it shows up. Stay tuned… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinois_buckeye Posted September 22, 2021 at 05:47 AM Share Posted September 22, 2021 at 05:47 AM Submitted a new app today. Already had an active foid, so we’ll see how long it takes. Only thing I can see is my wife took my pic and it was more of a shot of abdomen upwards as opposed to shoulders and head only, so hopefully they don’t fuss much over that.

Rmac702 Posted September 28, 2021 at 02:48 PM Share Posted September 28, 2021 at 02:48 PM I noticed there is no specific thread for CCL renewal times. Anyway, I'm going on 9 months now for CCL renewal, no prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitter Clinger Posted September 29, 2021 at 03:37 PM Share Posted September 29, 2021 at 03:37 PM Most people are waiting over 500 days for a CCL renewal, which seems about average. You have a long way to go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting on my CCL renewal uploaded with class refresher course certificate, prints on file on July 16th. 2020 ...... 443 days ago. Absolutely ridiculous. Gotta love Illinois. Haven't had so much as a parking ticket since I first received my original CCL. Should be clean as a whistle renewal. At this rate, I'll be signing up for my next CCL renewal class because the license I've yet to receive will be expiring, almost before I get the damn thing.

Stay tuned… I was wondering what I should do in this instance. I have not received my card it was apparently "lost" in the mail. When I click on the website to report as lost I get told this: If you have not received your card within that time contact the Firearm Services Bureau Call Center at (217) 782-7980. I have tried calling this number numerous times and can never get anyone to talk to. Should I fork over another $75 to get the card replaced without getting a hold of them? After waiting the 558 days to go active and now waiting their recommended period of time to report it lost. This is just my luck. They shouldn't even advertise that number because you can't reach anyone. This entire renewal process has been a complete and object failure for me.

Agree with Rmac .... my expiration has shown "COVID-19" as the expiration date, ever since I renewed some 450 days ago. FYI My issue date reflects a issue date of an address change, but kept 2020 expiration date. The original CCL license was issued the first time in 2015, expired in 2020. Still waiting for renewal.

Tod- I definitely feel your pain. I was complaining that it took 229 days to renew my CCL (and fingerprints were on file). Having waited 450 days, you definitely have the patience of a Saint. Have you tried contacting your state representative/ senator? They might be able to do an inquiry via an ISP "Liaison". They might be able to get some additional information (or exposure) on a potential issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodoun da Vinci Posted October 21, 2021 at 06:00 PM Share Posted October 21, 2021 at 06:00 PM I was checking back here because I'm getting nervous about my renewal....I sent in my training certificate March 2021. I guess I'll need to wait quite a while longer. Like others it makes me very nervous carrying in other States with an expired Illinois CCL. Over 200 days expired now and the ISP says "Covid" when I check on status. What a mess. VooDoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
