What is the process to renew a FOID card?

Submit a new application online
In-person application at a designated facility
Automatically renewed by the state
Mail renewal with a fee

The correct answer is: Submit a new application online

To renew a FOID card, the appropriate action is to submit a new application online. This process streamlines the renewal procedure, making it convenient for applicants. The online submission allows for quick processing times and helps ensure that all necessary information is accurately recorded and up to date. While the other options might seem plausible, they do not align with the current protocol established by the Illinois State Police. The in-person application process at a designated facility is not necessary for renewals, as the system is designed for efficiency through online submissions. Automatic renewal by the state is also not an option; renewal requires active participation by the FOID cardholder to ensure compliance with statutory guidelines. Furthermore, while mail renewal could theoretically be an option, the online method is preferred and encouraged for its ease and efficiency.
