Is parental consent required for minors applying for a FOID card?

Yes, for applicants under 21
No, parental consent is not required
Yes, for applicants under 18
Only if the minor is under 16

The correct answer is: Yes, for applicants under 18

Yes, parental consent is required for applicants under 18 years of age when applying for a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card in Illinois. Minors who are under the age of 18 must have their parent or legal guardian sign consent for their FOID card application. This is to ensure that a responsible adult acknowledges and authorizes the minor's application for a FOID card, as individuals under 18 are considered minors and may not apply for certain legal documents without parental consent. Option A is incorrect because the requirement for parental consent applies to minors under the age of 18, not just those under 21. Option B is also incorrect as parental consent is indeed required for minors applying for a FOID card in Illinois. Option D is incorrect as it provides a specific age (under 16) which does not align with the general requirement for minors under the age of 18 to have parental consent for a FOID card application.
