What type of photo ID is required to apply for a FOID card?

  1. Passport only

  2. Driver's license or state ID

  3. School ID

  4. Any photo ID issued by a government entity

The correct answer is: Driver's license or state ID

A Passport only can be used as a valid form of ID for international travel, but it is not accepted for obtaining a FOID card as it does not provide proof of residency in a specific state. C A School ID is not a valid form of government-issued ID and does not provide proof of residency. D: While a government-issued photo ID may seem like a valid option, the specific requirement for obtaining a FOID card is a driver's license or state ID, as it provides proof of residency in a specific state.
