What information must be provided when applying for a FOID card?

  1. Only name and address

  2. Name, address, and date of birth

  3. Name, address, date of birth, and Social Security number

  4. Name, address, and a recent photograph

The correct answer is: Name, address, date of birth, and Social Security number

When applying for a FOID card, an individual must provide their name, address, date of birth, and Social Security number. This information is necessary in order for the state to process and issue the card. Simply providing a name and address (option A) or just a name, address, and date of birth (option B) would not be enough to fulfill the requirements for a FOID card. Additionally, a recent photograph (option D) is not listed as a necessary piece of information for obtaining a FOID card. It is important to note that Social Security numbers are commonly used for identification and background checks, so it is understandable why they are required for a FOID card application.
