How long is a FOID card valid before it needs to be renewed?

  1. 5 years

  2. 10 years

  3. 3 years

  4. 1 year

The correct answer is: 10 years

FOID cards, or Firearms Owner's Identification cards, need to be renewed every 10 years. This is to ensure that the holder is still eligible to possess a firearm and to update any necessary information. A renewal process helps to maintain the accuracy and validity of the card. Options A, C, and D are all incorrect as they suggest shorter renewal periods. This would not allow enough time for proper eligibility checks and updates, resulting in potential errors and outdated information on the card.
