What must a person do if their FOID card is lost or stolen?

  1. Apply for a new one within 30 days

  2. Report it to the police within 72 hours

  3. There is no requirement to report or replace it

  4. Notify the Illinois State Police immediately

The correct answer is: Notify the Illinois State Police immediately

If a person's FOID card is lost or stolen, they must immediately notify the Illinois State Police. This is because the card contains personal information, and if it falls into the wrong hands, it could potentially be used for criminal activities. Reporting it within 72 hours or applying for a new one within 30 days may not be enough to prevent any harm from occurring. Additionally, there is no requirement to report it or replace it; however, it is strongly recommended to do so to protect oneself and prevent any illegal use of the card. Therefore, option D is the most appropriate course of action in this situation.
