Is parental consent required for FOID card applicants under 21 years of age?

Yes, for all applicants under 21
No, age is not a factor in FOID card applications
Yes, but only for applicants under 18
No, consent is required only for applicants under 16

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for applicants under 18

Parental consent is specifically required for individuals under the age of 18 when applying for a FOID card in Illinois. This requirement recognizes the legal status and responsibilities of minors, as those under 18 are considered children under Illinois law and require parental guidance and approval for matters involving firearms. In contrast, individuals 18 years or older can apply for a FOID card without needing parental consent, reflecting their legal ability to independently make such decisions. This structure ensures that minors are protected and that their guardians are involved in the decision-making process regarding firearm ownership.
