Can a FOID card be renewed before it expires?

Yes, up to 90 days before expiration
No, only after it expires
Yes, but only 30 days before
Renewal is not necessary

The correct answer is: Yes, up to 90 days before expiration

A FOID card can be renewed up to 90 days before it expires. This is the most accurate answer because it follows the rules and regulations set by the Illinois State Police, who handle FOID card renewals. Option B is incorrect because waiting until after the expiration date may result in a lapse of time where the card is not valid. Option C is also incorrect because it limits the time frame for renewal to only 30 days before expiration, which may not give enough time before the renewal deadline. Option D is incorrect because a FOID card must be renewed in order for it to remain valid, so renewal is necessary.
