FOID Card Eligibility in Illinois: Impact of a Felony Driving on Suspended License Conviction

Can You Get a FOID Card with a Felony Driving on Suspended License?

No. Under Illinois law, a conviction for felony driving on a suspended or revoked license disqualifies an individual from obtaining a Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card. The Illinois State Police will deny the application based on this prohibiting offense.

Other disqualifying felonies include violent crimes, drug trafficking, and certain weapons offenses. A FOID card is required to legally possess firearms or ammunition in Illinois.
