The Coalition for a Secure Driver's License (CSDL) is a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan, not-for-profit, crime prevention educational charity. It is funded by individual donor contributions and foundation grants. Mission According to its website, the Coalition for a Secure Driver's License is committed to higher standards for both government and private entities that issue identity credentials, especially state agencies that issue driver's licenses and ID cards. The organization undertakes research projects addressing best practices for departments of motor vehicles (DMV), compliance with federal laws and regulations, identity fraud prevention and related identity management topics. CSDL provides research results and educational programs to the public and to state and federal officials. It is a member of the Document Security Alliance and of the American National Standards Institute. Goals and activities CSDL was formed in November 2001, following the 9/11 investigation which revealed that the terrorists had fraudulently obtained over 30 valid IDs and driver's licenses. The 9/11 Commission recommended that "the federal government should set standards for the issuance of ... sources of identification, such as driver's licenses." Based on these findings Henry Buhl and Alan Weeden founded the CSDL as an organization to promote ID card security. One of the main goals of the Coalition for a Secure Driver's License was to create national standards based on best practices for driver's license and ID card issuance that states must meet. The group opposed Governor Spitzer's effort to allow the state of New York to license immigrants regardless of their legal status because that effort would reduce the credibility of documentation required to obtain a license. Programs "Fake IDs are not worth the risks" This program seeks to educate the public on the consequences of purchasing and using a fake ID. It places posters in college dorm rooms, contributes flyers to college orientation packages, provides literature for law enforcement agencies to distribute, and travels around the country providing training and resources to combat fake IDs. By discouraging minors from breaking the law by using fake IDs, CSDL attempts to protect them from being arrested and having a permanent criminal record while also protecting the public from drunk drivers, alcohol related assaults, and alcohol related fatalities. CSDL published an editorial in USAToday about fake IDs in April 2015. "Keeping IDentities Safe for KIDS" This program, stylized as "Keeping IDentities Safe for KIDS", was formed because criminals are increasingly using the identity information of children
