Thank you for giving hope to those on the transplant waiting list.
Now that you’ve made the decision to register as an organ donor, here are a couple things to know.
- Your personal decision to become a registered organ donor is considered legally binding, much like a will.
- It's important to share your decision with your family. Doing so offers clarity and eases your family's minds during a difficult time.
Hay se requiere un paso más para obtener el ♥ donor symbol for your Michigan driver’s license or state ID.
Please log into your account on the Sitio web de la Secretaría de Estado de Michigan e indicar que se está uniendo al Registro de Donantes. El Secretario de Estado le enviará por correo su ♥ etiqueta de donante dentro de 2 semanas.
What does joining the Michigan Organ Donor Registry mean?
- Your information is now in a secure database, only accessed when donation is being considered at the end of life.
- If a registered donor is younger than 18 when they pass, their parents or guardians will make the final decision about donation.
- If a potential donor is not registered, the family may be asked to make the donation decision.
- The organ donation process is not a one-size-fits-all, every situation is different. Learn more about the donation process on our website.
