I got my FOID card in the mail today and they used my DL picture instead of the one that I sent them in the mail.  Picture looks nothing like me now.  I have hair and lost some weight.

Interesting.
I recently changed my addy on DL. They used the same pic again. Actually sped up the process. I was in and out of the DMV in 10 minutes!

That would really speed things up if they used the DL pic. How long did it take to get your new Foid?

With a wild guess I would say about 45 days.  I sent it in and they returned it to me because I had an old application so I had to re send it.  Funny thing is THEY removed the photo from the old application and attached it to new application.  Either way I am happy because I didn't realize my old one had expired.  I am all legal again.

I think it was. Actually went the CDL facility (I just have a normal DL) in Elk Grove. Caught them on a slow day (Monday around 3pm).

It took my FOID renewal ~7-8 weeks (although the check was cashed quickly).   So much for the 30 day processing window.  I called and the guy I spoke with said they were running 3-4 weeks behind and just leave any guns at home until it showed up

They also used the pic from my DL instead of the one I sent.  It states on the FIOD application they may do that although I thought I had my DL pic taken before they were using the digital system...guess not.

The FOID card has a new look to it.  Also your signature is already on the card when received so no forgetting to sign it anymore

  I don't see why they couldn't tell you your expired Foid is valid until your new one shows up.

Because that would be too fracking easy, and the chicaoshit crowd would go ape shit!

That's because the regular DMV's are all closed on mondays, so nobody tried the CDL facility

approximately 10 day turn around on mine.  And they did use my DL pic now that you mention it.  I don't know if I like the fact they are mixing the two.
