What should you do if your FOID card is lost or stolen?

Report it to the police within 48 hours
Apply for a new one immediately without any notification
Notify the Illinois State Police within 10 days
Nothing, it will be automatically replaced

The correct answer is: Notify the Illinois State Police within 10 days

If your FOID card is lost or stolen, you should notify the Illinois State Police within 10 days. This is because failing to do so could result in criminal charges and a revoked FOID card. Reporting it to the police within 48 hours (option A) is not enough, as you still need to specifically notify the Illinois State Police. Applying for a new one immediately without notification (option B) is also incorrect, as you are required to notify the Illinois State Police before applying for a new FOID card. Doing nothing and waiting for automatic replacement (option D) is not a valid option, as you are responsible for notifying the Illinois State Police and there is no guarantee that the card will be automatically replaced. Failure to follow the correct procedure (option C) could result in penalties.
