recently realized my foid card had expired 01/01/04; went to get an application and the guy tod me they were really backed up and it may take a couple months to get renewed.... well i mailed the app and a check on 01/20/04 and i got my new card on tuesday. 3 wks aint bad.

made me look at mine it expires in august

I forgot and let mine slip away so I went to the State Police office in Springfield and got mine taken care of in about three days. That was two years ago.

Good luck!

I renewed mine a year ago...hope they don't jack up the price before 2008....

i had no idea you could do such a thing, i live near jacksonville so s'field is only about a 45 minute drive.

i already got my new card but would like to know how to go about renewing at the state police office, is there a certain way to go about it or just show up and let them know what you want? is it the office off of I55?

sent mine in ---two weeks -- unbelievable!

I sent in for renewal 1/31/04 and recieved mine today 2/14/04. Not too bad to me.

Don't forget to sign it. It is hard to see but it is on the edge.

You beat me to sayng that brownie65.

on the subject of FOID cards, has anyone ever had people mistake the FOID card for an state police id, have had it happen in a restaurant and a bar when i didnt have any other id on me and their response is always "thank you officer"
