What type of photo is required for a FOID card application?

  1. A passport-sized color photo

  2. A black and white photo

  3. No photo is required

  4. A selfie

The correct answer is: A passport-sized color photo

A passport-sized color photo is required for a FOID card application because it allows for clear identification of the individual applying for the card. Black and white photos may not provide enough clarity, and taking a selfie does not meet the formal requirements. Additionally, a photo is indeed required for a FOID card application, so the option stating "No photo is required" is incorrect.
