Become an Organ Donor
You can provide lifesaving organs to as many as eight people. Every registration counts.
One donor can save 8 lives and enhance the lives of 75 more.
How Do I Sign Up?
Sign up online through your state registry or in person at your local motor vehicle department. If you have an iPhone, you can use the Health app. It sends your information to a national computer system.
Can I Update My Information
Yes, you can change your information in your state’s online donor registry. Most states let you choose which organs and tissues you want to donate.
What Should I Do After I Sign Up?
Tell your family about your decision. If the time comes, they won’t feel surprised and can help carry out your wishes.
Do You Want To Donate While Your're Alive?
Well, obviously that’s going to be a different process. Learn more about living organ donation.
Benefits of Living Donation

- You can reduce someone’s waiting time for an organ transplant.
- Living kidney donation can prevent—or shorten—the need for kidney dialysis.
- Research has shown that recipients of organs from living donors have better outcomes than those who receive organs from deceased donors.
