  1. By mail only

  2. In person at the Illinois State Police

  3. Online through the Illinois State Police website

The correct answer is: Online through the Illinois State Police website

A person can apply for a FOID card through the Illinois State Police website. This is the recommended and most efficient way to apply. Options A and B are incorrect because they are limited and may take longer for the application to be processed. Option D is also incorrect because not all of the options (mail and in-person) are equally efficient. Online application is the preferred method.
