What is the minimum age to apply for a FOID card in Illinois?

  1. 18 years

  2. 21 years

  3. 16 years with parental consent

  4. No age limit

The correct answer is: 16 years with parental consent

In Illinois, the minimum age to apply for a FOID card is 16 years old, but with parental consent. This means that individuals who are 16 years old can apply for a FOID card as long as they have the permission of a parent or legal guardian. This requirement is in place to ensure that there is a level of oversight and responsibility when it comes to young individuals owning firearms.
