Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Driver's License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) is a mandatory federal grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 GPD 089 002 01) designed to strengthen the security and trustworthiness of state- and territory-issued driver's licenses and identification cards. Its central purpose is to help prevent terrorism, reduce identity and document fraud, and improve the overall reliability and accuracy of personal identification credentials used across the United States. The program is framed as a direct response to a key 9/11 Commission recommendation calling for stronger integrity and security standards around state-issued identification documents, recognizing that driver's licenses and ID cards are widely relied upon for access to services, travel, and identity verification.
This funding opportunity falls under the homeland security preparedness category (CFDA 97.089) and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The estimated total funding available under the FY 2010 DLSGP is $48,000,000, with an expected 56 awards, indicating that funding was broadly intended to reach every state and eligible territory-level issuing authority. The award floor is listed as $600,000, and the opportunity explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, specifically the agencies responsible for issuing driver's licenses and identification cards. The eligible applicants include State Motor Vehicle/Driver's License Issuing Authorities, commonly referred to as State Motor Vehicle Administrations (MVAs) or Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs). It also includes state public safety agencies or departments when they have overall responsibility for driver's license issuance on behalf of the DMV/MVA. In practical terms, the program is aimed at the core operational entities that manage identity proofing, credential production, card issuance, and related security controls within each state.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on December 8, 2009, with a creation date of January 29, 2010. The original application deadline was February 12, 2010, and the current closing date was extended to February 18, 2010. The archive date is March 20, 2010.
