What should a cardholder do if their FOID card is lost or stolen?

Report the loss to the Illinois Department of State Police within 5 days
Apply for a new card within 30 days
There is no need to report it
Wait for its automatic renewal

The correct answer is: Report the loss to the Illinois Department of State Police within 5 days

Reporting the loss to the Illinois Department of State Police within 5 days is the required protocol for a cardholder whose FOID card is lost or stolen. This step is crucial because it helps prevent potential misuse of the card and allows law enforcement to take necessary precautions. By notifying the authorities, cardholders can protect themselves and ensure that their identification is not used inappropriately. While it is also important to apply for a replacement card to maintain valid firearm ownership, the initiative to report the loss is the primary obligation. The other options may mislead individuals regarding the necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of their firearm ownership rights.
