Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

(430 ILCS 65/6) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-6)
Sec. 6. Contents of Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
(a) A Firearm Owner's Identification Card, issued by the Illinois State Police at such places as the Director of the Illinois State Police
shall
specify, shall contain the applicant's name, residence, date of birth, sex,
physical description, recent photograph, except as provided in subsection (c-5), and signature. Each Firearm Owner's
Identification Card must have the Firearm Owner's Identification Card number boldly and conspicuously
displayed on the face of the card. Each Firearm Owner's
Identification Card must have printed on it the following: "CAUTION - This
card does not permit bearer to UNLAWFULLY carry or use firearms."
Before December 1, 2002,
the Department of State Police may use a person's digital photograph and signature from his or
her
Illinois driver's license or Illinois Identification Card, if available. On
and after December 1, 2002,
the Illinois State Police (formerly the Department of State Police) shall use a person's digital photograph and signature from his
or her
Illinois driver's license or Illinois Identification Card, if available. The Illinois State Police
shall decline to use a person's digital photograph or signature if
the digital photograph or signature is the result of or associated with
fraudulent or erroneous data, unless otherwise provided by law.
(b) A person applying for a Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall
consent
to the Illinois State Police using the applicant's digital driver's
license
or Illinois Identification Card photograph, if available, and signature on the
applicant's
Firearm Owner's Identification Card. The Secretary
of State shall allow the Illinois State Police access to the photograph
and signature for the purpose of identifying the applicant and issuing to the
applicant a
Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
(c) The Secretary of State shall conduct a study to determine the cost
and
feasibility of creating a method of adding an identifiable code, background, or
other means on the driver's license or Illinois Identification Card to show
that
an individual is not disqualified from owning or possessing a firearm under
State or federal law. The Secretary shall report the findings of this study August 17, 2002 (12 months after the effective date of Public Act 92-442).
(c-5) If a person qualifies for a photograph exemption, in lieu of a photograph, the Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall contain a copy of the card holder's fingerprints. Each Firearm Owner's Identification Card described in this subsection (c-5) must have printed on it the following: "This card is only valid for firearm purchases through a federally licensed firearms dealer when presented with photographic identification, as prescribed by 18 U.S.C. 922(t)(1)(C)."
