What must you do if you change your address while holding a valid FOID card?

  1. Nothing, as the card is still valid

  2. Notify the Illinois State Police within 30 days

  3. Reapply for a new FOID card

  4. Only update the address if moving out of state

The correct answer is: Notify the Illinois State Police within 30 days

If you change your address while holding a valid FOID card, you must notify the Illinois State Police within 20 days. This is because the Illinois State Police maintains a database of FOID card holders and their current addresses for the purpose of conducting background checks. If you fail to notify them of your address change, it may result in your FOID card being revoked or denied a renewal. Options A and D are incorrect because you must update your address with the Illinois State Police. Option C is incorrect because you do not need to reapply for a new FOID card, rather you just need to update your address.
