Can your FOID card be revoked if you move out of state?

  1. Yes, immediately upon moving

  2. No, it remains valid until expiry

  3. Yes, if you do not notify the Illinois State Police

  4. No, if you maintain an Illinois residence

The correct answer is: Yes, immediately upon moving

If you move out of the state of Illinois, your FOID card can be revoked immediately. The Illinois Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card is specific to residents of Illinois, and if you are no longer a resident of the state, you are no longer eligible to hold a FOID card. It is important to notify the Illinois State Police of any change of address or residency status to avoid any potential issues with your FOID card. Option B is incorrect because the card does not remain valid until expiry if you move out of state. Option C is not entirely accurate, as simply not notifying the Illinois State Police of your move is not the sole reason for revocation. Option D is also incorrect because maintaining an Illinois residence is not the only factor in determining the validity of your FOID card after moving out of state.
