Does Illinois recognize FOID cards from other states for residents moving into Illinois?

Yes, as long as it's valid
No, new residents must apply for an Illinois FOID card
Yes, but only for a period of 60 days
No, unless it's for law enforcement officers

The correct answer is: No, new residents must apply for an Illinois FOID card

New residents moving to Illinois are required to apply for an Illinois FOID card. This is because Illinois has its own specific regulations and requirements regarding firearm ownership, and the validation of FOID cards from other states is not recognized as compliant with Illinois law. Each state maintains its own criteria for firearm ownership and permits, and the Illinois statutes necessitate that all firearm owners within its jurisdiction hold a valid FOID card issued by the state. This process ensures that all firearm owners meet Illinois-specific guidelines and safety standards.
