Is it possible to transfer a FOID card to another person?

  1. Yes, with written consent

  2. Yes, but only to family members

  3. No

  4. Only within the same household

The correct answer is: No

While it may seem like transferring a FOID card to another person is a possibility, it is actually illegal to do so. According to the Illinois State Police, it is a felony offense to knowingly transfer a FOID card to another person without authorization. Even with written consent or only to family members, this action is still considered illegal in the state of Illinois. Only transferring a FOID card within the same household may be allowed, but this should still be done with caution and discretion.
