Who is eligible to apply for an Illinois FOID card?

  1. Any resident of Illinois over the age of 21

  2. Any resident of Illinois with a valid driver's license

  3. Any U.S. citizen living in Illinois without a felony conviction

  4. Any resident of Illinois over the age of 18

The correct answer is: Any U.S. citizen living in Illinois without a felony conviction

To be eligible to apply for an Illinois Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card, the individual must be a U.S. citizen living in Illinois without a felony conviction. This requirement ensures that individuals applying for a FOID card meet the legal criteria to possess firearms in Illinois. A valid driver's license or being over the age of 21 or 18 are not sufficient criteria on their own to qualify for a FOID card.
