DL

State-issued ID

DL is an abbreviation with several meanings depending on context.

In casual communication, it stands for "down low"—keeping something secret or discreet: Keep it on the DL.

In sports, DL means disabled list, the roster for injured players.

Online, especially in file-sharing contexts, DL is shorthand for download: Here's the DL link.
