Is a background check required for a FOID card application?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for individuals under 21

  4. Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: Yes

A background check is required for all FOID card applications, regardless of age or residency. The FOID card is a state-issued identification card that allows an individual to legally possess a firearm in Illinois. As part of the application process, a background check is conducted to ensure the individual does not have a criminal history and is not prohibited from owning a firearm. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they imply that a background check is not required, which is not true.
