Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Drivers License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) is a Department of Homeland Security grant program designed to help states and territories strengthen the security of driver s licenses and state identification cards. The main purpose is to prevent terrorism, reduce identity and document fraud, and improve the overall reliability and accuracy of the personal identification documents issued by state authorities. The program is tied to a core recommendation of the 9/11 Commission: improving the integrity and security of state-issued credentials so they are harder to counterfeit, harder to obtain under false identities, and more trustworthy for law enforcement, aviation security, and other critical identity checks.
This opportunity was offered as a mandatory grant (not a competitive discretionary program) under CFDA 97.089, with funding categorized under Homeland Security preparedness. FEMA/DHS planned to make up to 56 awards nationwide, reflecting broad coverage across states and territories. The estimated total funding available was $48,000,000, and the minimum award amount listed was $600,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning eligible applicants generally would not be required to contribute a non-federal match to receive funds, although applicants still needed to follow all program guidance and allowable cost rules.
Eligible applicants were state-level entities directly responsible for issuing driver s licenses and identification cards. This includes State Motor Vehicle or Drivers License Issuing Authorities, commonly referred to as the State Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) or Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), as well as state public safety agencies or departments that hold overall responsibility for license issuance on behalf of the DMV/MVA. In practice, this targets the agencies that control identity proofing, card production, issuance processes, and related security operations, since those are the areas where improvements most directly reduce fraud and improve document integrity.
The program timeline shows that the grant announcement was posted on December 8, 2009, with an original closing date of February 12, 2010, later extended to February 18, 2010. The opportunity was archived on March 20, 2010. Applicants were repeatedly instructed to carefully review the Fiscal Year 2010 DLSGP Guidance and Application Kit for submission requirements, which typically covers required forms, project narratives, budgets, allowable activities, reporting expectations, and technical submission steps. The listing also includes an additional information link for the full announcement, which would contain the detailed program rules and application instructions.
For support, DHS/FEMA provided multiple help contacts for applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement or needed assistance with the process. The Centralized Scheduling Information Desk (CSID) Help Line could be reached at (800) 368-6498 or askcsid@dhs.gov. Additional assistance was available through the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and the email address ASK-GMD@dhs.gov. These contacts are typical for federal preparedness grants, offering help with application systems, required documentation, and general program administration questions.
