State of Illinois Concealed Carry License (CCL) & Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) Application Processing

Application Submission Assistance

Illinois Concealed Carry Training Center (ICCTC) offers assistance to individuals who want to submit their applications directly to ISP for their Illinois Concealed Carry permit and/or Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) with ease.

ICCTC License Application Assistance is designed to assist applicants with the entire application process quickly and conveniently. The service is intended to streamline the application screening and review process, thereby reducing the time it takes the Illinois State Police to issue a license once the application package is submitted. Because applications are submitted at our office, individuals will be pre-screened for completion prior to the application being submitted to ISP and there is less likelihood that the application will include errors or omissions that will result in processing delays.
