Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Driver's License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) is a mandatory Department of Homeland Security grant program designed to strengthen the security and integrity of state- and territory-issued driver's licenses and identification cards. The core purpose is to help prevent terrorism, reduce identity and document fraud, and improve the overall reliability and accuracy of personal identification documents used across the United States. The program explicitly aligns with a major recommendation of the 9/11 Commission: improving the integrity and security of state-issued IDs so they are harder to counterfeit, harder to obtain fraudulently, and more trustworthy for identity verification in both everyday and security-sensitive settings.
This opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 GPD 089 009 01 and is associated with CFDA 97.089 (Driver's License Security Grant Program). It falls under the broader homeland security preparedness activity area. DHS expected to make 56 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $48,000,000. The minimum award amount (award floor) was listed as $600,000, and the program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which means eligible applicants were not required to contribute a set percentage of their own budget toward the funded activities as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility was limited to state-level government entities that have direct responsibility for issuing driver's licenses and identification cards. Specifically, eligible applicants included State Motor Vehicle/Driver's License Issuing Authorities such as State Motor Vehicle Administrations (MVAs) or Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs), as well as State Public Safety Agencies or Departments that hold overall responsibility for driver's license issuance on behalf of the DMV/MVA. In practical terms, the program was structured so that the agencies controlling the licensing process and the security controls around identity proofing, card production, and issuance operations were the intended recipients.
Key dates show the program operating on a relatively short application window. The opportunity was posted on December 8, 2009, with the original closing date of February 12, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of February 18, 2010. The record was archived on March 20, 2010. Applicants were repeatedly instructed to closely follow the detailed submission and documentation requirements in the Fiscal Year 2010 Driver's License Security Grant Program Guidance and Application Kit, signaling that compliance with the application kit and format requirements was an important part of submitting a valid application.
The awarding agency is listed as "Region 9," and the announcement provided multiple support channels for applicants who needed help obtaining or navigating the full announcement materials.
