How do I report my FOID Card Lost/Stolen?

You can report your FOID card lost or stolen by logging into the Firearms Services web portal from the Illinois State Police website, www.isp.state.il.us or by calling the Customer Service Center at 217-782-7980. You can apply for a replacement card at the same time

Report your card lost through the link, and print out anything the site gives you indicating you did that.  Keep a copy of it with you and hell....the photocopy probably wouldn't hurt.

It has a valid number on it which can easily be verified by LE.  Your FOID will also be on file and able to be located with your name/DOB.

In short, the physical card isn't the only way LE can verify you have a valid FOID.

I think actual possession of the card is required though. Or is that only for the CCL?



Mine took about 2 months when I lost it in July. I am still waiting for my replacement CCL.

Yes, however loss happens.  Be reasonable and diligent with it (IE in reporting it lost and seeking a replacement) and you should be good to go in the interim.
