Is my driver's license or ID card enough?

  • Yes, your driver's license or ID card is enough. However, the registry provides on the spot information about an individuals decision to be a donor, which guarantees that an individual's decision to donate will be honored and respected. Your driver's license or ID card may not be available at the time donation is being considered.
  • Individuals can continue to register to be organ and tissue donors at the department of motor vehicles (DMV) when they are getting a new license or renewing their license. This information from the DMV is downloaded into the registry every 24 hours. So, if you make your designation at the DMV you have been added to the registry.
