How long is a FOID card valid from the date of issuance?

5 years
10 years
1 year
3 years

The correct answer is: 10 years

A FOID card in Illinois is valid for 10 years from the date of issuance. This means that once issued, the cardholder can legally possess a firearm and ammunition for a period of 10 years before needing to renew their FOID card. This extended validity period helps ensure that responsible gun owners can maintain their legal status without the need for frequent renewals.
