Beastmod Posted September 17, 2021 at 12:06 AM Share Posted September 17, 2021 at 12:06 AM Hello all, hope everyone is doing great and in good health. I would like to thank everyone for responding to my questions on my foid card if I haven't done it already. I see online it say that the CC wait time is about 5 1/2 months. My question is I submitted myself and wife CC paperwork at the end of June or first week of July. We didn't send in our prints and my brother said I should have they would come back much faster. So can we still go and submit our prints even if its been almost three months since sending in our certificates? Or would I still be waiting long do to the backlog they have. Figured I would ask and see what you guys had to say about it, or if it would even move it along any faster if we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would defer to someone more knowledgeable on the effect of adding fingerprints to an application in process. I do have some information on the trending of average processing days (history) since February, 2021. (The information is posted only for the most recent reporting period on the website) 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) 02/2021 118.89 n/a 166.02 156.55 71 03/2021 126.35 176.54 160.04 136.91 50 04/2021 140.39 187.69 162.49 142.79 48.75 05/2021 206.84 218.20 152.10 182.63 13 06/2021 n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 07/2021 188.95 143.82 143.74 131.79 23.3 08/2021 196.74 258.16 167 136.44 7.75 Please note that these are just averages and (as the Illinois State Police notes) "not all applications are processed in the order that they are received". Also, to give you some context, I recently renewed my CCL and my prints were on file. The process took almost 230 days- from renewal submission to license receipt. I submitted my renewal in January. The Illinois State Police does not publish CCL renewal statistics. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie Posted September 17, 2021 at 01:20 AM Share Posted September 17, 2021 at 01:20 AM I tell my students not to bother with prints. It's an added expense that just isn't worth it. Buy some ammo and practice your shooting skills instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted September 17, 2021 at 02:00 AM Share Posted September 17, 2021 at 02:00 AM At this point you’re not going to speed the process. And it could possibly slow things down! It is Illinois you know. save the cash now and just wait it out. Time consuming for sure but the time will fly by. Sit back have a cold one or five and boom it’s here!

Beastmod Posted September 18, 2021 at 10:07 PM Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 at 10:07 PM Thanks guys for the timely responds. all replies was very much accepted. I was thinking the same just sit back and wait it out. Just wanted you guys input on the matter, like Howie said spend it on more ammo lol. found a website online called firearms depot that ships the ammo right to my front door. Mr Bubacs I think im gone go have that cold one. peace out fellow shooters, be safe and thanks again for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
