FY 2011 Driver's License Security Grant Program (DLSGP)

Total Funding Available in FY 2011:  $45,188,000

Purpose:  The DLSGP provides funding to prevent terrorism, reduce fraud and improve the reliability and accuracy of personal identification documents that states issue.  The DLSGP is intended to address a key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission to improve the integrity and security of state-issued driver’s licenses (DLs) and identification cards (IDs).  States are encouraged to work collectively to develop more secure systems to verify an applicant’s identity before issuing a DL or ID that can be accepted for official purposes.

Eligible Applicants:  Eligible applicants under the FY 2011 DLSGP were State Driver’s License Agencies (SDLAs), also known as state Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs) or Motor Vehicle Administrations (MVAs).  Other eligible applicants include state Public Safety Agencies or Departments with overall responsibility for drivers’ license issuance in the state.  These agencies were able to apply on behalf of the state DMV/MVA.

Program Awards:  Eligible applicants under the FY 2011 DLSGP were State Driver’s License Agencies (SDLAs), also known as state Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs) or Motor Vehicle Administrations (MVAs).  Other eligible applicants include state Public Safety Agencies or Departments with overall responsibility for drivers’ license issuance in the state.  These agencies were able to apply on behalf of the state DMV/MVA.

If the total of all state awards is less than $44,910,000 for any of these reasons, remaining program funds will be redistributed to applicant states and territories based on the formula.
