How long does it typically take to receive a FOID card after applying?

30 days
60 days
120 days
It varies with no specific timeframe

The correct answer is: 60 days

The correct answer is B. After applying for a FOID card, it typically takes 60 days to receive it. This is because the Illinois State Police must conduct a background check and verify the information provided before issuing the card. While it may vary slightly from case to case, 60 days is the average timeframe. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they all give a specific time period that does not align with the average timeframe. Option A states 30 days, which is too short of a period, while option C states 120 days, which is too long. Option D states that there is no specific timeframe, but this is also incorrect as there is an average timeframe of 60 days. It's important to keep in mind that various factors can affect the processing time, such as a high volume of applications or issues with the application itself. However, in general, 60 days is the average time it takes to receive a FOID card after applying.
