ISP open 4th Firearm Owners Identification kiosk

(WAND) - The Illinois State Police recently opened its fourth Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) kiosk for people to apply for and update their FOID card and Concealed Carry License.

The Metro East now has a kiosk located in District 11 headquarters to help people without access to online devices or who are experiencing difficulties online.

Illinois residents can visit one of four kiosks around the state to get assistance.

“The Illinois State Police has worked diligently to improve FOID and CCL customer service by setting up kiosk locations where people can get in-person assistance, and by working to eliminate backlogs,” said ISP Director Brendan F.
