What type of photo must applicants submit with their FOID card application?

  1. A passport-quality photo taken within the last 30 days

  2. A driver's license photo

  3. Any color photo

  4. No photo is required

The correct answer is: A passport-quality photo taken within the last 30 days

Applicants submitting a FOID card application are required to include a passport-quality photo taken within the last 30 days. This type of photo ensures that the applicant's identity can be accurately verified and helps prevent fraud or misuse of the FOID card. It is essential for the photo to be a recent high-quality depiction of the applicant to meet the application requirements accurately. In contrast, the other options are not accurate because a driver's license photo may not meet the necessary quality or timing criteria, any color photo may not meet the official requirements, and stating that no photo is required goes against the established application process.
