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

  1. 16 years old

  2. 18 years old

  3. 21 years old

  4. There is no age requirement

The correct answer is: 18 years old

The correct answer is B, 18 years old. In Illinois, individuals must be at least 21 years old to purchase a firearm without a FOID card. However, to apply for a FOID card without needing parental consent, the minimum age requirement is 18 years old. This ensures that individuals who are legally considered adults can independently apply for their FOID card.
