What action should a FOID card holder take if they change their address?

  1. Update their address online with the Illinois State Police within 30 days

  2. No action is required

  3. Apply for a new FOID card

  4. Notify their local post office only

The correct answer is: Update their address online with the Illinois State Police within 30 days

A FOID card holder is required to update their address with the Illinois State Police within 30 days of any change in order to ensure that their FOID card remains valid. Option B is incorrect because not updating the address could lead to issues with the validity of the FOID card. Option C is incorrect because getting a new FOID card is not necessary as the current one can be updated with the new address. Option D is incorrect because notifying the local post office alone is not enough. It is important to update the address with the Illinois State Police.
