How soon after moving should an Illinois resident update their address on their FOID card?

Within 30 days
Within 60 days
Immediately
Within 90 days

The correct answer is: Within 30 days

It is important for an Illinois resident to update their address on their FOID card within 30 days of moving. This is because Illinois law requires residents to update their address within 30 days of moving to a new address. Updating the address within 30 days ensures that the resident's FOID card reflects their correct information and can help avoid potential issues with law enforcement or purchasing firearms. Choosing options B, C, or D would not be correct as they all exceed the maximum timeframe allowed by law for updating an address on a FOID card. It's important to note that it is also possible to update the address immediately upon moving, but it must be updated within 30 days at the latest. Additionally, it is recommended to also update one's address with the United States Postal Service to ensure all mail is forwarded to the new address.
