What information is required on the FOID card application?

  1. Fingerprints

  2. Medical records

  3. Full name and address

  4. Income level

The correct answer is: Full name and address

The correct choice is the requirement of full name and address on the FOID card application. This information is essential for identifying the applicant and verifying residency within the state of Illinois, as the FOID card is strictly regulated and must reflect accurate personal details. Having the full name helps ensure that the applicant can be correctly identified, while the address is necessary for confirming that they reside in an area where firearm ownership is permissible by law. The other options, such as fingerprints, medical records, and income level, are not standard requirements for the FOID application process. Fingerprints are generally not required for a FOID application, focusing instead on personal identification information. Medical records are not necessary since the application doesn't typically require health disclosures. Income level is unrelated to firearm ownership eligibility in Illinois and is not part of the information assessed when applying for a FOID card.
