What happens if your FOID card is lost or stolen?

You must notify the police within 72 hours
It automatically renews
You have to wait a year to reapply
You must immediately apply for a new one without notification

The correct answer is: You must notify the police within 72 hours

When your FOID card is lost or stolen, the correct action is to notify the police within 72 hours. This is important because it helps document the loss and can assist in preventing potential misuse of your FOID card by someone else. Reporting to law enforcement is a proactive measure that helps establish a record of the incident. The other options do not adequately address the required responses for a lost or stolen FOID card. For instance, automatic renewal does not apply in cases of loss or theft; users need to reapply for a new card. There is also no waiting period of a year to reapply; the immediate action is to report and then apply for a replacement card. Ensuring you take the right steps is crucial for maintaining compliance with firearm ownership regulations in Illinois.
