Is it possible for someone under 21 to obtain a FOID card with parental consent?

  1. Yes, if they are at least 16 years old

  2. Yes, without any age limit as long as they have consent

  3. No, individuals must be 21 or older to apply

  4. Yes, if they are at least 18 years old

The correct answer is: Yes, if they are at least 18 years old

No, obtaining a FOID card with parental consent is not solely dependent on age. According to the Illinois State Police, individuals must be at least 18 years old to apply for a FOID card. Therefore, options A and B are incorrect as they suggest an age limit of 16 or no age limit at all. Option C is also incorrect as it states an age limit of 21, which is not the minimum requirement for obtaining a FOID card with parental consent. Option D is the closest to the correct answer as it mentions the need for parental consent, but it is incorrect because it does not specify the minimum age of 18 required for obtaining a FOID card.
