The Illinois State Police will now automatically new a person's Firearms Identification Card for individuals who have submitted a full set of fingerprints to ISP specifically for their FOID card or Concealed Carry License.
According to the FTIP, the renewal will make FOID cards active for 10 years if card holders are not subjects to revocation or suspension under the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act.
"The automatic renewal of a FOID card will expedite the process for many card holders while still ensuring people who are prohibited under the FOID Act do not have legal access to a card," said the Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly.
Individuals who apply for a FOID card can transmit their fingerprints through a live scan vendor licensed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
The fingerprints will be kept on file for future automatic renewals.
A list of licensed fingerprint vendors can be found on the IDFPR website www.ispfsb.com.
