NEED HELP WITH FOID APPLICATIONS

The ISP is no longer accepting the paper applications for Firearms Owners Identification cards (FOID card or GUN card).

​

The process is a little more complicated than it was before. It will require the setup of an online account with the ISP.  Your application will be submitted electronically and payment will be made with your credit card.  The account you create is also used for the IL Concealed Carry License application and renewal of your FOID and/or CCL, so you will need to make a record of your user name and password.  We can assist you with the entire process. 

​

The FOID application can take around 10-15 minutes to complete, and can be frustrating. We have trained our employees to make this application process easier. FOID applications are done during normal store hours, no appointment is needed. We have two computers dedicated for doing FOID applications.
