This designation is for individuals 18 or older.

  3. Register for organ donor designation • Organ donor registration is available online or in-person at your local MVC agency. When registering at an agency, you must present the required six (6) points of identification as well as verification of your address. Remember that you must confirm your decision each time you renew your license or non-driver ID.

In the event of an accident or emergency, physicians and nurses will do everything possible to try to save your life. In fact, the medical team treating you is always completely separate from the transplant team.
