029416 Posted November 22, 2022 at 10:09 PM Share Posted November 22, 2022 at 10:09 PM Goofy question... I renewed my CCL and received the card back in 11/2021, before they started changing cards and combining things. I'm pretty sure I never received an updated FOID card with the same expiration as my CCL, even though they are supposed to be synced. I was cleaning out my wallet and noticed that my FOID card expires 11/2022 while my CCL card expires 02/2026. When I login to the ISP portal, everything is fine; my CCL and FOID both expire 02/2026. I can print an eCard which has all the correct information on it. Should I contact ISP to see if I can receive an updated combined card, as I only have an expired official old-style FOID card? Should ISP be automatically sending updated cards out? Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can gather, it sounds like ISP should send you an updated combined FOID and CCL card in the mail. I don't recall seeing one, but I have to check with the wife. In the mean time, it sounds like you can carry the CCL and the FOID eCard and it should be good enough.

Sweeper13 Posted November 22, 2022 at 10:59 PM Share Posted November 22, 2022 at 10:59 PM ISP sent out an email explaining that you will get an all in one card. Check your spam folder. I know a few that have received the email and the card showed up a few weeks later. I would print out anything you can from the ISP and keep it on you. I would also contact ISP. We know they never make mistakes..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanook Posted December 13, 2022 at 04:21 PM Share Posted December 13, 2022 at 04:21 PM I just received my new card with the extended date for the FOID. They sent a letter first a few months ago stating the extended date for the FOID. Then another letter telling me to expect the new card in the 'next few days'. The new card showed up late last week, Friday I believe. Since my original card showed expired since earlier this year, I didn't know what to expect if I tried to purchase a gun. It so happened that I didn't try in that timeframe. The local dealer I usually buy from was aware of the extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinelgin Posted December 15, 2022 at 12:14 AM Share Posted December 15, 2022 at 12:14 AM Just got my all-in-one card last Saturday. Got the letter telling me to expect it about 3 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2A4Cook Posted December 15, 2022 at 05:10 AM Share Posted December 15, 2022 at 05:10 AM I have 5 years left on my FOID and around 18 months on my CCL. I just got a letter essentially calling me a scofflaw and telling me to expect a combined card in a few days. Uhm ... "yay." Not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkye Posted December 18, 2022 at 02:52 AM Share Posted December 18, 2022 at 02:52 AM I think what should be done is fight fire with fire. There was a big deal made of State police not confiscating FOID cards from convicted Felons, and them being able to use them to buy Ammo. This is basically the same problem with no expiration date on FOID cards, at face they can be used after expired. I would think the Anti gun nuts would be in a tizzy if they knew this.

They're not supposed to be used at all without checking their status online first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmart Posted December 18, 2022 at 05:43 AM Share Posted December 18, 2022 at 05:43 AM Wait until they stop notifying you that you need to renew and put the full responsibility on you. You don't realize you're up for renewal, it lapses, and then they're knocking on your door to confiscate your property. Anyone having any issues with retailers refusing to sell ammo because they can't quickly see that your FOID is still current? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
