What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a FOID card without parental consent?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. There is no age requirement

The correct answer is: 21 years old

A) While 18 years old may seem like a logical minimum age requirement for applying for a FOID card, it is actually incorrect. Applicants must be at least 21 years old to obtain a FOID card without parental consent. B) This is the correct answer. Applicants must be at least 21 years old to apply for a FOID card without parental consent. This helps ensure that applicants are mature and responsible enough to handle firearm ownership. C) While 16 years old may seem too young to apply for a FOID card without parental consent, there are certain exceptions for minors who have a valid hunting license. However, for the general population, the minimum age requirement is 21 years old. D) This may seem like a plausible answer, but it is actually incorrect. As stated above, applicants must be at least 21 years old to apply for a FOID card without parental consent. There is no option for individuals of any age to apply for a FOID card without parental consent.
