What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a FOID card without parental consent?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. There is no age requirement

The correct answer is: 21 years old

To apply for a FOID card in Illinois without parental consent, the minimum age requirement is 21 years old. This is the correct answer because individuals who are at least 21 years old are considered adults and can legally apply for a FOID card without needing parental consent. Option A (18 years old) is incorrect because individuals under the age of 21 need parental consent to apply for a FOID card. Option C (16 years old) is incorrect since 16-year-olds are not considered legal adults and would require parental consent to apply for a FOID card. Option D (There is no age requirement) is also incorrect as there is a specific age requirement of 21 years old to apply for a FOID card without parental consent in Illinois.
