solareclipse2 Posted October 5, 2021 at 04:56 PM Share Posted October 5, 2021 at 04:56 PM My FOID cracked straight across the top between my FOID number and my name. Presumably from having it in my wallet and sitting on it all these years. I'm going to be taking the class to get my CCL again this weekend. I'm going to just tape it back together for the short term but on the ISP website it has an option to report lost/stolen/destroyed FOID cards. I'm guessing that falls under the destroyed category. Should I do that at the same time I apply for my CCL? or wait until after I get my CCL? My FOID still has 2 years of being valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted October 5, 2021 at 05:43 PM Share Posted October 5, 2021 at 05:43 PM If you can glue the edges then do that. If you can tape it and have it hold for two years then do that. Im assuming when you say getting your CCL again you mean the renewal? If so the CCL is all you need to have on you if you wish. If you are getting a NEW CCL then I would recommend getting both at the exact time and that way they can and will match up the numbers. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not mean renewing my CCL. I let it lapse a couple of years ago so I have to take 8 hours over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cope Posted October 5, 2021 at 10:14 PM Share Posted October 5, 2021 at 10:14 PM I would just piece it together and laminate it or just lay clear packing tape front and back. To my knowledge there's nothing anywhere that says the card has to be in any type of condition other than carried and valid. Although FFLs may not honor it that way.

Molly B. Posted October 7, 2021 at 02:53 PM Share Posted October 7, 2021 at 02:53 PM The clear tape front and back should hold it until it's time to renew. Once you have your CCL, that's all you have to carry on you. Submitting a lost/stolen/damaged request is a dark hole that you want to avoid if possible. I know for the lost/stolen report the FOID is deemed invalid. I would assume the same for damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely don't want to do that. I'm going to keep the taped version til it expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
