The correct answer is: 10 years

A FOID card in Illinois is valid for 10 years before it needs to be renewed. This time frame allows firearm owners to possess and use their firearms legally without the need for frequent renewals. It is essential for firearm owners to keep track of the expiration date on their FOID card to avoid any legal issues related to expired cards.
