FY 2010 Driver's License Security Grant Program (DLSGP)

Total Funding Available in FY 2010:  $48 Million

Purpose:  The FY 2010 DLSGP will provide $48,000,000 to prevent terrorism by reducing fraud and improving the reliability and accuracy of personal identification documents that states and territories issue.  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 (DL) and identification cards (ID).

Eligible Applicants:  Eligible applicants under the FY 2010 DLSGP are State Driver’s License Agencies (DLA), also known as State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or Motor Vehicle Administrations (MVA).  Other eligible applicants include State Public Safety Agencies or Departments with overall responsibility for drivers’ license issuance in the state.  These agencies may apply on behalf of the state DMV/MVA.

Program Awards: In FY 2010, all 56 states and territories will receive a base amount with the balance of funds distributed based on the total number of DL/IDs issued in each state.  For the purposes of this grant, states are grouped into four categories based upon the number of DL/IDs issued.  Final determinations for awards will be based upon applications received as well as the results of reviews by FEMA and the DHS Office of Policy.
