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

5 years
10 years
1 year
3 years

The correct answer is: 10 years

A FOID (Firearm Owner's Identification) card is valid for 10 years before it needs to be renewed. This means that individuals with a FOID card can legally own a firearm for the duration of 10 years. The other options may seem plausible, but they are incorrect because they do not align with the actual validity period for a FOID card. For example, options A, D, and C are all shorter periods of time, while option B provides the longest duration. Additionally, it is important for gun owners to be aware of the validity of their FOID card and to renew it in a timely manner in order to avoid potential legal consequences.
