What happens if a FOID cardholder moves to a new address?

They must notify the Illinois State Police within 21 days
They must reapply for a new FOID card
Nothing, the FOID card automatically updates
They must notify their local police department

The correct answer is: They must notify the Illinois State Police within 21 days

A FOID cardholder must notify the Illinois State Police within 21 days when they move to a new address. This requirement is in place to ensure that the state maintains accurate records of firearm owners and their residences, which is vital for public safety and law enforcement. Keeping the address information up to date allows law enforcement to effectively manage and respond to incidents involving firearms. While there may be additional communications required with local authorities or the need to reapply for certain permits or licenses, notifying the Illinois State Police is the primary responsibility of the FOID cardholder when a change of address occurs. This process helps prevent potential legal issues and ensures that the cardholder remains in compliance with Illinois law.
