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. Now I wait for the mail. Oh, they also renewed my FOID for 10 years to 2032 (I didn't request a FOID renewal), and my CCL is 2-2027, so I received a FOID renewal and an extra 10 months on my CCL since I renewed my CCL in 2-2021 and it expired in 4-2021.. Not bad IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats Posted March 3, 2022 at 07:06 PM Share Posted March 3, 2022 at 07:06 PM Received my second (and updated) consolidated FOID/CCL card this year. The initial card processing was initiated by a FOID renewal in December, 2021. Some of the details: First Card: FOID Renewal Application: 12/08/2021 Card sent to printer: 01/28/2022 Card Received in Mail: 2/11/2022 Indicator: "Y" (Incorrect) AL # Format: F#########[Print Date] Bottom card wording: This card does not permit bearer to UNLAWFULLY carry or use firearms. This does not authorize the carrying of a concealed weapon. (concealed part incorrect) Back of card: Detailed rehash of transferring firearm requisites The card was reported to ISP as incorrect on 2/14/2022 (At ISP kiosk) Second Card: FOID Renewal Application: 12/08/2021 Card sent to printer: 02/14/2022 (Same day service on when the issue was reported) Card Received in Mail: 3/3/2022 (meter date 2/28/2022) Indicator: "CCL" (Correct) AL # Format: X#########[Print Date] Bottom card wording: This card does not permit bearer to UNLAWFULLY carry or use firearms. Back of card: High level reference to FOID and CCL Acts It took two tries, but I think they got it right. One item of note- the AL#. The AL (Authorized License) "number" is a number that the ISP (per sources in the ISP) intends to use in the future to validate the FOID in certain transactions. This may be used instead of, or in conjunction with, the date of birth (DOB) when entering into transactions. For the first part of the number. the ISP has not divulged any of the logic used in the number. The letter code does peak one's curiosity. It will be very interesting if the ISP does use the AL#, as well as how well they roll out the usage of the number. Good luck to all who embark, or are "dragged into" getting a new consolidated card.

illinois_buckeye Posted March 5, 2022 at 11:40 PM Share Posted March 5, 2022 at 11:40 PM I’d applied in September for a new card. It was supposedly approved on 1/18/22. Never got the card. Called around February 22nd or 23rd, card showed up again as printed on 2/24/22. As of today still no card in the mail. Hopefully they decide to get the card here sometime this decade.

Blove Posted March 6, 2022 at 01:53 AM Share Posted March 6, 2022 at 01:53 AM (edited) Still waiting on mine. Spoke with someone on the phone at ISP on Friday 03/04/2022 claimed that those of us whose cards showed printed on 01/18/2022 was never printed. Now they are showing printed on 02/24/2022 supposed to be printed soon. This is crazy. Hope we will all receive our cards soon could not get an exact time frame as to when they would actually be printed and mailed out. Quess we will still have to "HURRY UP & WAIT."

illinois_buckeye Posted March 6, 2022 at 02:24 AM Share Posted March 6, 2022 at 02:24 AM Same boat. Thing with Illinois if you owe a dollar you’d better pay ASAP before they put a lien on you or give you tax penalties. But you expect the state to do stuff…. You get to wait and wait and wait…. You get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornz Posted March 6, 2022 at 12:56 PM Share Posted March 6, 2022 at 12:56 PM My frustration is with the lack of communication when they absolutely know they have an issue. Another example of how lousy Illinois is to live in. If we could only give Cook County to Indiana or Wisconsin. Thanks for everyone’s updates, it’s extremely helpful.

Weigh the costs against each of those two against each other. Two separate agency’s within the same state. One more expensive than the other. One which serves several millions of people daily, weekly, monthly etc. one you have gained a right to do. The other you have the right to do. And yet we sit and watch the inequities of a state which serves much less than a million vs tens of millions, stumble and bumble through the process of merely printing a plastic card. They don’t want one to get these cards. And the other needs these cards out as fast as possible so their constitutes can line up to vote. Discrimination against a selected class? Boggles the mind.

Just speculating here: could the difference be that one organization is run by an elected official answerable to the public every 4 years and one is run by someone appointed by the governor and only answerable to a a rabid anti-gun zealot?

ScottFM Posted March 11, 2022 at 09:22 PM Share Posted March 11, 2022 at 09:22 PM I got a second FOID/CCCL card in the mail today. This less than a month from when I got a previous one. BOTH have the indicator as CCL, so it is not part of the misprinted group. The X-Number is different. I do not know why and I do not know why I got a second one!

illinois_buckeye Posted March 12, 2022 at 05:46 AM Share Posted March 12, 2022 at 05:46 AM I can’t speak to other people but my card that I received on March 10 has the red line on the bottom that says you basically you can’t illegally carry.

Tip Posted March 12, 2022 at 04:37 PM Share Posted March 12, 2022 at 04:37 PM So apparently the ISP is issuing multiple different cards to some, multiple identical cards to others, single incorrect cards to some, single correct cards to others and no cards at all to some others….. So what’s next?? A declaration that all cards are null and void due to “printing irregularities” and everybody has to reapply?? And yes, that was supposed to be purple….. or was it???

Bubbacs Posted March 13, 2022 at 03:23 AM Share Posted March 13, 2022 at 03:23 AM New and hopefully final update. The wife’s CCL renewal was 6 plus months out. I decided to e-mail the director directly. Sent the e-mail late (8pm) on the 22nd February. Received a reply less than 24 hours thereafter on the 23rd. They stated that her card was approved and would be sent to the printer. They also stated that she should receive it with 10 business days. Scrolling forward I figured maybe Thursday this week. Nope not here. Ok Friday. Nope and that’s a full 12 business days! 😡 Well today Saturday the 12th of March we got her card from the mail box. So it does pay to send those e-mails if it’s been a long time out. I say that as several over 6 month cards have been reviewed of late. I might add that my e-mail was polite and to the exact point about the card and the timelines only! She got the new and improved FOUD color card with the CCL designation on it. All dates have been extended. Others have been stating they are getting multiple cards but she only got this one and it looks correct based on the portal etc. Keep up the faith fellas it will and can happen, I’m thinking they need these nudges every now and then. But that’s just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats Posted March 18, 2022 at 06:22 PM Share Posted March 18, 2022 at 06:22 PM Earlier this week the ISP published some information on average processing times for FTIPS, FOID (new and renewal), and CCL New (fingerprint and non fingerprint). After reporting all averages within relevant ranges for January, 2022, it appears in February, 2033 that only CCL new applications (with fingerprints) were outside the "statutory guidelines". A history of averages over the past year (or so) is listed below. The information is also available on the ISP website (for select periods). (https://isp.illinois.gov/Foid) Processing Statistics Source- https://isp.illinois.gov/Foid Month/ Year New FOID application Average Processing Time (Days) Renewal FOID application Average Processing Time (Days) New Non-Fingerprint CCL Average Processing Time (Days) New Fingerprint CCL Average Processing Time (Days) FTIP Average Processing Time (Hours) Source 11/2020 121.71 199.9 160.35 130.58 79.4 Website 12/2020 122.47 242.44 158.84 121.05 36.25 Website 01/2021 121.74 266.77 154.76 122.22 62.25 Website 02/2021 118.89 305.02 166.02 156.55 71 Website 03/2021 126.35 176.54 160.04 136.91 50 Website 04/2021 140.39 187.69 162.49 142.79 48.75 Website 05/2021 206.84 218.2 152.1 182.63 13 Website 06/2021 206.93 221.2 181.62 138.85 17.2 Website 07/2021 188.95 143.82 143.74 131.79 23.3 Website 08/2021 196.74 258.16 167 136.44 7.75 Website 09/2021 149.47 146.59 146.64 117.78 36 Website 10/2021 121.3 38.91 130.32 100.49 31 Website 11/2021 97.04 35.98 126.97 110.7 41 Website 12/2021 50.42 53.16 122.05 86.99 58 Website 01/2022 21.74 34.51 115.12 78.36 41.75 Website 02/2022 19.8 33.46 115.38 110.89 41.75 Website Please note that according to ISP guidelines the processing time is calculated from the time the application is received to the time that an application is denied or the card is SENT to the printer (print queue). A card that needs to be reprinted or the time it takes to print, mail and when the card is ultimately received is not currently measured (and made available) by the ISP.

Days before dined or approved to be sent to printer to que before being printed and awaiting to be mailed and the be taken to local post office to be processed to be delivered across the state to other post offices before being processed to be delivered to YOUR local post office to be scheduled to be delivered out to you home.
