Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2011 Drivers License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) for Region 10 is a mandatory federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is designed to strengthen the security of state-issued drivers licenses and identification cards by helping states prevent terrorism, reduce identity and document fraud, and improve the overall reliability and accuracy of the identity documents they issue. The program is closely tied to a key 9/11 Commission recommendation: improving the integrity and security of drivers licenses and IDs so they can be trusted when used for official purposes. A central theme of the program is encouraging states to work collectively and build stronger, more secure processes for verifying an applicant's identity before issuing a credential.
This opportunity was posted on May 19, 2011, with an application closing date of June 20, 2011, and an archive date of July 20, 2011. Applicants were specifically instructed to closely follow the submission requirements laid out in the Fiscal Year 2011 Drivers License Security Grant Program Guidance and Application Kit, which would govern how applications must be prepared and submitted. The program is listed under CFDA number 97.089 (Drivers License Security Grant Program) and is categorized under homeland security preparedness activities.
Total estimated funding for the overall program is $44,910,000, with an expected four awards for this Region 10 opportunity. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that specific award sizing details are handled in the separate guidance document rather than being hard-coded into the summary notice. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning eligible applicants are not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited to state-level entities responsible for drivers license issuance. Primary eligible applicants are State Drivers License Agencies (SDLAs), commonly known as state Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs) or Motor Vehicle Administrations (MVAs). State public safety agencies or departments that have overall responsibility for drivers license issuance may also apply, including situations where such an agency applies on behalf of the state DMV/MVA. In practical terms, this keeps the funding focused on the state organizations that control identity proofing, credential production, issuance, and related security controls.
The program’s intent is not just administrative modernization, but security and trust. By funding improvements in how states verify identity and issue credentials, DHS aims to reduce the risk that fraudulent or improperly issued IDs could be used to facilitate terrorism or other serious crimes. The emphasis on collaboration suggests that states are encouraged to align approaches, share best practices, and develop interoperable or mutually reinforcing methods for identity verification and document integrity, improving confidence in IDs across jurisdictions.
