Illinois General Assembly: 430 ILCS 65/3(b-5) (checked )Any resident purchasing ammunition within or outside the State of Illinois must provide the seller with a copy of his or her valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card or valid concealed carry license and either his or her Illinois driver's license or Illinois State Identification Card prior to the shipment of the ammunition.

Ammo may ship to an Illinois resident only after the buyer gives the seller a FOID card or concealed carry license plus an Illinois ID, and only to an address on those documents (official source).
- Chicago: Chicago repealed its own ammunition possession section in 2013, so the state FOID shipping rule applies. Many retailers still exclude Chicago addresses by policy (source)
