What information must you provide when applying for a FOID card?

  1. Social Security Number

  2. Vehicle Registration Number

  3. Bank Account Details

  4. Employer's Contact Information

The correct answer is: Social Security Number

When applying for a FOID card, you must provide your Social Security Number. This is because the FOID card is a form of identification issued by the government, and your Social Security Number is a unique identifier that verifies your identity. Providing your Social Security Number helps to prevent identity fraud and ensures that the correct person is applying for the FOID card. This also helps the government keep accurate records of all FOID card holders. The other options, such as Vehicle Registration Number, Bank Account Details, and Employer's Contact Information, are not required and may not be relevant to the application process. providing incorrect or unnecessary information may delay or complicate the application process.
