Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Driver's License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) is a mandatory federal grant opportunity designed to help states and territories strengthen the security of driver's licenses and state identification cards. The central purpose is to prevent terrorism, reduce identity and document fraud, and improve the overall reliability and accuracy of the personal identification documents that state governments issue. In practical terms, the program supports efforts that make it harder to obtain a license or ID under a false identity, harder to counterfeit or alter credentials, and easier for issuing authorities to verify that an applicant is who they claim to be. The program directly aligns with a major recommendation of the 9/11 Commission: improving the integrity and security of state-issued identification as a way to reduce vulnerabilities that can be exploited for criminal activity or terrorist travel and logistics.
This opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 GPD 089 010 01, with a posted date of December 8, 2009, and a creation date of January 29, 2010. The application window originally closed on February 12, 2010, and was later extended to February 18, 2010, emphasizing that applicants needed to follow the detailed submission rules in the official FY 2010 DLSGP Guidance and Application Kit. The opportunity was archived on March 20, 2010. The total estimated funding available was $48,000,000, and awards were expected to be made broadly, with an anticipated 56 awards, suggesting nationwide coverage across states and eligible territories rather than a small number of large recipients.
DLSGP funding is provided as a grant and is categorized under Homeland Security Preparedness. The CFDA number associated with this program is 97.089 (Driver's License Security Grant Program), which is how federal assistance programs are tracked for reporting and administrative purposes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning eligible applicants were not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds to receive an award. The listed award floor is $600,000, indicating a minimum award size and reinforcing the program's intent to fund meaningful improvements rather than very small pilot efforts.
Eligibility is limited to state government entities with responsibility for driver's license issuance. Specifically, eligible applicants include the state motor vehicle or driver's license issuing authority, commonly referred to as the State Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) or Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). State public safety agencies or departments may also be eligible when they hold overall responsibility for driver's license issuance on behalf of the DMV/MVA. This eligibility structure reflects the reality that organizational responsibility for licensing differs by state, but the program targets the agencies that control identity proofing, card production, issuance workflows, and related security systems.
The administering agency is listed as "Region 10," and applicants were repeatedly advised to review the official guidance and application kit carefully, signaling that compliance with federal application and documentation standards was a significant part of the process. For support, the announcement provides contact options for accessing the full announcement and for assistance, including the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, along with the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and ASK-GMD@dhs.gov. These contacts suggest the program was managed within the Department of Homeland Security grant infrastructure, with FEMA support channels available for applicant questions and technical issues.
