A FOID card, or Firearm Owner's Identification card, is a card issued by the state of Illinois that allows individuals to legally possess firearms and ammunition. According to the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, a FOID card is valid for 10 years from the date of issuance before it needs to be renewed. Option A is incorrect because a FOID card does not need to be renewed after 5 years. Option C is incorrect because a FOID card is valid for longer than 1 year.
