Can a FOID card be revoked?

Yes, if the holder becomes ineligible
No, it cannot be revoked
Only upon expiration
Only if the holder moves out of Illinois

The correct answer is: Yes, if the holder becomes ineligible

A FOID card can indeed be revoked, primarily if the holder becomes ineligible. Various circumstances can lead to ineligibility, such as a felony conviction, certain mental health adjudications, or protective orders issued against the individual. The Illinois State Police has the authority to review the status of FOID card holders and enforce revocation if they determine that a person no longer meets the legal requirements to possess a firearm. This mechanism ensures that only those who are eligible, based on Illinois law, are allowed to hold a FOID card, thus promoting public safety. The other options present scenarios that do not accurately reflect the regulations surrounding FOID cards. A FOID card is not immune to revocation or merely tied to expiration or residency changes. Rather, eligibility is the key factor that determines whether an individual can retain their FOID card.
