Sounds like a pain and another way to keep us from buying guns and ammo. Is any of the legislation moving to do away with these dumb things yet?

I changed my address online and received a new FOID card today, with no expiration date. How are we supposed to know when it expires? Go off the old card? Are they no longer having expiration dates? No one picking up the phone down in Springfield.

The way I'm reading it is that the FOID card still has an expiration date, it's just not on the card itself. This is going to create a lot of headaches if/when people don't know their expiration date. I have it on my calendar to submit an application 6 months out from this coming December when my "old" card expires. Hoping that I can get some answers before then.
My new one has yet to arrive in the mail, but posts like yours has me wondering, how will businesses like Cabelas or Roger's, when ordering ammo online and need proof of us having a FOID, know that we're valid and legal when we go to order?
Maybe it's visible and I don't see it, but how are we to remember as to what date they expire, by the letter we get in the mail from ISP, ten years from when we renewed it ?

I went to Rogers a year or so ago and bought some. Put my card on top of my cases like I’m used to, and Ol girl behind the counter smiled under her mask and said, “from Illinois?” I replied, “yeaaaaah? How’d you know?” She said, “you can put that card back away.” Must be a common thing. From an online standpoint though, I could see it being an issue. And unless I get in a super pinch, I’m done with Bp and Cabelas. That place is a joke since the merger. The only thing keeping the store open at the mills is all the bruddas with their saggin pants and dread locks hanging around the gun counter all the time. They’ve killed that whole entire area out there. When Steak ‘n Shake can’t even make it sellin $4 sammiches, there’s not much hope for anything else makin it

Still can't get thru via phone, did find this online at the ISP FOID website...looks like they have to send a notice via first class mail 180 days prior to expiration to notify owners to begin the renewal process. Still would like to know why I now have a different FOID number than before and what the "Indicator" is on the new card. Symbol "N" for the indicator. can't find any info.
