What information is required when applying for a FOID card?

  1. Full name, date of birth, and fingerprint

  2. Only a valid driver's license

  3. Social Security Number and proof of residency

  4. Full name, date of birth, and current address

The correct answer is: Full name, date of birth, and current address

When applying for a FOID card, you are required to provide your full name, date of birth, and current address as stated in option D. This information is necessary for the Illinois State Police to verify your identity and residence. Option A, full name, date of birth, and fingerprint may be required for certain individuals who have previously been denied a FOID card or may be necessary if there are discrepancies in your identification. Option B is incorrect as a valid driver's license alone is not sufficient. Option C is incorrect as it does not specify the need for current address. Overall, option D provides the most comprehensive and accurate information that is required when applying for a FOID card.
