How to register as a donor

Your decision to be an organ and tissue donor saves lives!  It’s important to document your generous decision and tell your family and friends that you want to save lives through donation. 

Check the box

Licensed drivers and ID card holders can register to be an organ and tissue donor by indicating their decision to donate on their driver’s license application. Donation information is available in all driver’s license offices in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.

In these states, if you document your decision to be a donor (on your license, ID card, online or otherwise in writing) it is legally binding. Parental consent is required for individuals under the age of 18.

Go online

Minnesotans can document their decision to be an organ and tissue donor by registering online at www.DonateLifeMN.org. North Dakotans can register online at www.donor.nd.gov.

South Dakotans can print an organ and tissue donation registry form at www.DonateLifeSD.org and mail it to the Department of Public Safety to have donor added to their driver’s license or ID card at no charge.

Tell your family

Whether you’ve documented your decision on your driver’s license or registered online, please remember to share your decision with your family.
