Molly B. Posted September 12, 2021 at 04:01 PM Share Posted September 12, 2021 at 04:01 PM When a FOID application has gone past the 30 day time frame and still under review, the applicant may submit a request for administrative hearing to the director of the Illinois State Police. Although this section of the statute does not mention FOID renewals, if a renewal goes past the 60 business days stated elsewhere in the statute, you might try submitting the request for administrative hearing. Typed or handwritten is fine - see attached word doc below: Sec. 10. 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...

With all my activity around guns and the shooting sports carrying an expired FOID is about the last thing I look forward to doing. Are yo able to move things along with a face to face contact?

lilguy Posted February 1, 2022 at 04:51 AM Share Posted February 1, 2022 at 04:51 AM Thanks Molly, will travel to Lockport when the time comes. I know my carry license can be substituted for my FOID by statute, but that doesn't mean it'll be excepted. Already asked ammo dealers and a few FFLs. No go in more than one instance. That's why I carry both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
