The Driver’s License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) is designed to significantly enhance national security by improving the integrity and reliability of state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards. This initiative directly responds to a key recommendation from the 9/11 Commission, aiming to proactively prevent terrorism and substantially reduce fraud linked to personal identification documents. Through this program, states are strongly encouraged to collaborate on developing and implementing more secure systems for accurately verifying an applicant’s identity prior to issuing a DL or ID. The overarching objective is to ensure these vital documents meet rigorous security standards, bolstering their reliability for all official purposes and contributing to a more secure national identification framework.
