Is parental consent required for applicants under 21 years old to receive a FOID card?

Yes, always
No, never
Only if they are under 18
Only for applicants under 16

The correct answer is: Only if they are under 18

Parental consent is indeed required for individuals under the age of 18 to receive a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card in Illinois. This is in line with the legal framework that recognizes the maturity and judgment necessary for responsible firearm ownership, particularly for minors. For applicants aged 18 to 20, parental consent is not mandated; they can apply for the FOID card independently. Therefore, stating that parental consent is required only for those under 18 accurately reflects the regulation in place regarding minors and firearm ownership in Illinois.
