What action should be taken if a FOID cardholder moves to a new address?

  1. Nothing, the card remains valid regardless of the address

  2. Notify the Illinois State Police within 10 days of the move

  3. Apply for a new FOID card

  4. Renew the FOID card online to update the address

The correct answer is: Notify the Illinois State Police within 10 days of the move

When a FOID cardholder moves to a new address, it is crucial to notify the Illinois State Police within 10 days of the move. This requirement is important to ensure that the cardholder's information is up to date and accurate in case of any future verification needs. By notifying the Illinois State Police promptly, it helps to maintain the integrity of the FOID system and ensures that the cardholder remains compliant with the law. Therefore, option B is the correct action to take in this scenario. Option A is incorrect because simply leaving the address as it is without updating it is not in compliance with the regulations that require timely notification of any address change. Option C is not necessary as applying for a completely new FOID card is not needed when only the address information needs to be updated. Option D is also incorrect as renewing the FOID card online does not specifically update the address; a separate notification to the Illinois State Police is necessary for address changes.
