SPRINGFIELD – Firearm owners in Illinois will not have to worry about their FOID cards expiring before they can be renewed. The Illinois State Police say due to COVID-19, rules regarding FOID cards and Conceal-Carry have been updated. They say if your FOID expiration date was after March 9, 2020, your card will remain valid throughout the duration of the State’s disaster proclamation and for a period of 18 months following the termination of the disaster even if a renewal application was not submitted prior to expiration.
