What type of background check is performed for a FOID application?

Criminal history check only
Credit and criminal history check
Criminal and mental health history check
Employment history check

The correct answer is: Criminal and mental health history check

A This is incorrect because a criminal history check is not the only type of background check performed for a FOID application. A mental health history check is also required. B: This is incorrect because while a criminal history check may be performed, a credit check is not required for a FOID application. D: This is incorrect because an employment history check is not related to a FOID application, which is for a Firearm Owner's Identification card. The background check focuses on criminal and mental health history.
