Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Drivers License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) is a mandatory federal grant program designed to help states and territories strengthen the security of drivers licenses and state identification cards. The basic purpose is to make these documents harder to counterfeit or misuse, improve the accuracy and reliability of the identity information tied to them, and reduce opportunities for fraud. DHS frames the program as part of broader homeland security preparedness, and it is explicitly tied to a major recommendation from the 9/11 Commission: improving the integrity and security of state-issued identification to reduce the risk that terrorists or other bad actors can exploit weak identity systems.
This opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 GPD 089 004 01 and carries CFDA number 97.089 (Drivers License Security Grant Program). The program anticipated making awards to 56 recipients, reflecting nationwide availability across states and relevant territories. The estimated total funding available was $48,000,000, with an award floor of $600,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means eligible applicants were not required to contribute a non-federal match to receive funds.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, specifically the entities responsible for issuing drivers licenses and identification cards. This includes State Motor Vehicle or Drivers License Issuing Authorities, typically known as the State Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) or Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). It can also include state public safety agencies or departments when they have overall responsibility for license issuance on behalf of the DMV/MVA. In practical terms, the intended applicants are the official state-level organizations that run the licensing and ID issuance process and can implement security, identity-proofing, and anti-fraud improvements at scale.
The application timeline shows the opportunity was posted on December 8, 2009, with an original closing date of February 12, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of February 18, 2010.
