Why You Should Sign Up for a Renewal Course

Firearm ownership is a serious responsibility. At Northern Illinois Carry LLC, we encourage both new and experienced firearm owners to seek ongoing training, review best practices, and stay up-to-date on laws regarding firearm ownership.

 

Firearm Law Changes for 2022

The Illinois State Police (ISP) Firearms Services Bureau announced changes to its FOID and CCL programs effective January 1, 2022. These changes are intended to make it easier for residents to follow its firearm ownership guidelines. Notable changes include:

  • As Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) cards are replaced, the new cards will be printed without expiration dates.

  • When a new FOID card is issued, and the holder has a valid Conceal Carry License (CCL), the holder will get a combined card.

  • If a FOID card is suspended and the holder has a CCL, the CCL will be suspended until the FOID card is reinstated. Upon reinstatement of the FOID, the CCL will also be reinstated if eligible.

  • If a holder’s CCL is suspended or revoked but is still eligible to possess a FOID card, they will retain the issued combined card, but the Law Enforcement Automated Data System (LEADS) will not show a valid CCL.

  • When a FOID card expires during the term of a CCL, the FOID Card will automatically renew without a renewal fee. The licensee will be issued a new combined FOID card and CCL.

 

Residents will still have to keep track of their expiration and renewal dates. The ISP will continue to send notifications of the expiration of FOID cards via first-class mail or email 180 days before the expiration date.
