The correct answer is: 10 years

FOID cards, or Firearms Owners Identification cards, are required for any individual in Illinois to possess or purchase firearms or ammunition. These cards are valid for 10 years from the date of issuance, not 5 years, 1 year, or 3 years. Option A is incorrect because a FOID card is valid for a longer time period than 5 years. Option C is incorrect because a FOID card is valid for a longer time period than 1 year. Option D is incorrect because a FOID card is valid for a longer time period than 3 years.
