Is a background check required for every FOID card application?

Yes, for all applicants
No, only for first-time applicants
Yes, but only for applicants under 21
No

The correct answer is: Yes, for all applicants

A background check is required for all FOID card applications, regardless of whether the applicant is a first-time applicant or under 21 years old. This is because a background check is necessary to determine if the applicant meets the requirements for a FOID card, such as not having a criminal record or being deemed mentally unfit. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the fact that a background check is required for all FOID card applicants.
