How long is a FOID card valid before it needs to be renewed?

  1. 10 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 1 year

  4. 3 years

The correct answer is: 10 years

A FOID card is valid for 10 years before it needs to be renewed. This means that for 10 years, the card holder does not have to go through the process of obtaining a new FOID card. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest shorter durations of validity (5 years, 1 year, and 3 years respectively), which would require the card holder to renew or obtain a new FOID card more frequently. Therefore, option A is the most accurate and logical choice.
