Molly B. Posted December 27, 2021 at 04:31 PM Share Posted December 27, 2021 at 04:31 PM ISP ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO FOID AND CCL ACTS Springfield, IL – The Illinois State Police (ISP) Firearms Services Bureau (FSB) is announcing several changes to the Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) Card program based on statutory changes to the FOID Act effective Jan. 1, 2022. 1. New Cards - As FOID cards are replaced, new cards will be printed without expiration dates. Whenever a new FOID card is issued, if the cardholder has a valid Conceal Carry License (CCL), the cardholder will be issued a combined FOID and CCL card. a. When a FOID Card is suspended and the cardholder has a CCL, the CCL will be suspended until the FOID Card is reinstated. Upon reinstatement of the FOID Card, if eligible, the CCL will be reinstated as well. b. When a CCL is suspended or revoked but the person is still eligible to possess a FOID card, they will retain the issued combined card, but it will not show a valid CCL in the Law Enforcement Automated Data System (LEADS). Auto Renewal - When a FOID Card expires during the term of a CCL, the FOID Card will be automatically renewed without paying a renewal fee and the licensee will be sent a new combined FOID Card and CCL. As described above, these combined cards will not have an issuance or expiration date printed on the face of the card and will serve as both the cardholder’s FOID and CCL. “The Illinois State Police Firearms Services Bureau is working diligently to ensure the statutory changes to the FOID Act will benefit the people of Illinois,” said ISP Director Brendan F. Kelly. “We are pleased by the fact that this will decrease duplicity within the FOID and CCL program which will in turn save time and money for both applicants and taxpayers,” he concluded.

cybermgk Posted December 27, 2021 at 04:45 PM Share Posted December 27, 2021 at 04:45 PM My CCL will expire (in a little under a year) before my FOID by years. What will happen then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will happen then? My guess is that you will be issued a new combo card and as long as you keep your CCL renewed, I think your FOID will remain valid too.

2A4Cook Posted December 27, 2021 at 06:52 PM Share Posted December 27, 2021 at 06:52 PM They are trying to confuse us out of our guns it seems. Luckily, they are making it right by forcing Illinois schools to rewrite our history to honor the Muslim contributions to the building of America, and (no lie!) make Mohammed Ali's birthday a school holiday.

incoming Posted January 3, 2022 at 07:24 PM Share Posted January 3, 2022 at 07:24 PM My FOI expires on Feb 1, 2022, My CCL expires in 2024. I received a letter from ISP on Dec 17, 2021 stating my FOI card expires on Feb 1, 2022 and encouraging to submit FOI renewal application before expiration. The ISP portal shows expiration date as COVID-19, and does not show a renewal button. So much for automatic renewal. What do i do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly B. Posted January 3, 2022 at 10:48 PM Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 at 10:48 PM You FOID should remain valid as long as your CCL remains valid. You can stop by one of the three kiosks at ISP district headquarters and have them see if they can renew it. You can send me a private message and I'll submit an inquiry.

raymond963 Posted January 4, 2022 at 11:54 PM Share Posted January 4, 2022 at 11:54 PM (edited) This was on the login screen for the FOID/CCL page today. So I guess my FOID really doesn't expire later this year (2022) and will be extended until my CCL expires in 2025. (Edited to add that my expiration date also says "COVID-19") Edited January 4, 2022 at 11:55 PM by raymond963 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incoming Posted January 5, 2022 at 07:39 PM Share Posted January 5, 2022 at 07:39 PM (edited) That system alert was put up after I spoke with someone yesterday at Firearms Service Bureau. When my FOI was last issued it should have had the expire date moved up to match my CCL. This was not done. Now unless they issue me a new FOI card with the matching date, I will have a expired card for 2 1/2 years before getting the pleasure of having the new combo CCL card with no dates. Some stores still want a valid FOI to purchase ammo, and I bet online vendors will not sell to me after the expire date. Love the way the new system alert says "probably" means your expiration date has been advanced to match.

incoming Posted January 5, 2022 at 07:57 PM Share Posted January 5, 2022 at 07:57 PM To be clear, I know my card will still be valid, but the expired date will prevent ammo sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet Posted January 6, 2022 at 11:43 AM Share Posted January 6, 2022 at 11:43 AM In another FOID/CCL update thread, they said they will be issuing everyone a new combo card this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about waste! Why replace perfectly good cards that are still valid. Wait till the card expires to replace it. This just proves that it is a scheme to shaft folks.

I am beginning to suspect that the "security code" on the new cards is effectively the new FOID number. At some point, no security code = not valid.

Little Duck Posted January 8, 2022 at 05:57 PM Share Posted January 8, 2022 at 05:57 PM So, for those of us that expired in 2021 but have not got renewal notice yet. Will we get the new card formate or will we get the old card formate. It has been 167 days so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmac702 Posted January 8, 2022 at 06:43 PM Share Posted January 8, 2022 at 06:43 PM I would think it should be the new card. I'm coming up on 11 months since I entered my CCL renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol-Invictus Posted May 19, 2022 at 10:10 PM Share Posted May 19, 2022 at 10:10 PM My FOID card has a May 1st 2022 expiration date but online it is listed as the same as my CCL which is June 2024. I am just carrying my CCL with a screen shot showing my FOID is good. This whole FOID thing is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly, I am in the same boat. and per the ISP Announcement: "Auto Renewal - When a FOID Card expires during the term of a CCL, the FOID Card will be automatically renewed without paying a renewal fee and the licensee will be sent a new combined FOID Card and CCL. As described above, these combined cards will not have an issuance or expiration date printed on the face of the card and will serve as both the cardholder’s FOID and CCL." Any updates on when will this be done and I will receive the new card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly B. Posted May 20, 2022 at 07:40 PM Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 at 07:40 PM No updates, I'm guessing when you do the renewal in 2024??? Let us know if you get it prior to that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandInstructor Posted June 6, 2022 at 06:01 PM Share Posted June 6, 2022 at 06:01 PM Over the weekend a student called me, his FOID did not Auto Renew. FOID expired June 1st. Now his CCL is Suspended, which expires in 4 1/2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
