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

  1. Notify the ISP within 21 days

  2. There's no need to notify the ISP

  3. Reapply for a new FOID card

  4. Only update the address when renewing the card

The correct answer is: Notify the ISP within 21 days

If a FOID cardholder moves to a new address, they should notify the ISP (Illinois State Police) within 21 days. This is because the FOID card is linked to the holder's address and failure to update the address can result in a revoked or suspended card. Choosing option B (there's no need to notify the ISP) is incorrect because it is required by law to notify the ISP of a change in address. Option C (reapply for a new FOID card) is incorrect because it is not necessary to get a new card, only to update the address. Option D (only update the address when renewing the card) is also incorrect because the address should be updated immediately, not just during the renewal process.
