What should you do if your FOID card is lost or stolen?

  1. Notify the Illinois State Police within 48 hours

  2. Apply for a new FOID card immediately

  3. Both A and B

  4. Do nothing

The correct answer is: Both A and B

If your FOID card is lost or stolen, it is important to take action immediately in order to protect your personal information and avoid potential legal consequences. Option A, notifying the Illinois State Police within 48 hours, is important because it allows them to flag your old FOID card as invalid and issue a new one. Option B, applying for a new FOID card immediately, is necessary because you will need a valid FOID card in order to legally possess firearms and ammunition in Illinois. Therefore, both options A and B are necessary in order to properly handle a lost or stolen FOID card. Option D, doing nothing, is not a viable option as it could result in potential legal issues or misuse of your personal information.
