How do I register as a donor in California?
As a resident of California, you should take the following steps to ensure your decision to become a donor is carried out:
- Check “YES! I want to be an organ and tissue donor” when you apply for or renew your driver license or ID card through the California DMV
- OR
- Sign up online to be an organ and tissue donor with the Donate Life California Registry at http://www.donatelifecalifornia.org/ or its companion Spanish Web site, http://www.donevidacalifornia.org/.
California does not require family consent to carry out your wishes to be an organ, eye or tissue donor. However, keeping everyone informed will help avoid any confusion or delays.
