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

18 years old
21 years old
16 years old
There is no age requirement

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The correct answer is 18 years old. In Illinois, an individual must be at least 18 years of age to apply for a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card without the need for parental consent. This age requirement is established to ensure that applicants are legally considered adults, capable of understanding the responsibilities associated with firearm ownership. Younger individuals may still be able to obtain a FOID card if they have parental consent, but without that consent, they must meet the minimum age of 18.
