What happens if a FOID cardholder moves to another state?

  1. The card automatically extends for another 10 years

  2. The card remains valid until its expiration

  3. The cardholder must surrender the FOID card

  4. The card is transferred to a new state ID

The correct answer is: The cardholder must surrender the FOID card

If a FOID cardholder moves to another state, they must surrender their FOID card. This is because the FOID card is only valid for residents of Illinois and becomes void when the cardholder moves out of state. Options A and B are incorrect because the card does not automatically extend or remain valid in this situation. Option D is also incorrect since the card cannot be transferred to another state ID.
