If I want to register, what should I do?

 To register as an organ and tissue donor, click here. Donate Life New England is an online registry for all New England residents to declare their wish to save lives.  

Please share this decision with your family. 

You may also make your decision known through the CT DMV or the MA RMV when you receive or renew your driver's license or state ID.   You will be asked if you wish to become an organ and/or tissue donor.  The information you provide goes into a donor registry database accessible by the organ procurement organization (OPO) in the event you are eligible to give the gift of life. In Massachusetts, please be sure to check "yes" to donation on your renewal form.

  If you register as a donor in Connecticut or Massachusetts (by either or both routes), this is considered legal consent for organ and tissue donation.  It is also very important to make your wishes known to your family.  

As a donor, you have the power to save and improve the lives of over 75 people.

Please read this page before continuing with registration:
Thank you for your interest in registering to be an organ and tissue donor. By registering here you give legal consent for organ and tissue donation.

This online registration option is separate and distinct from any other donation decisions you have made. Specifically, it is not a part of your state motor vehicle department’s organ and tissue donor registry. This simply means that any registration decisions you make here (either adding yourself to the registry or removing yourself from the registry) will not affect your donor status with your state motor vehicle department. To learn more about the donor registry visit Questions About the Registry.

The registration process includes both ID verification and an electronic signature, so please be sure to complete all the steps in the process before leaving the website.

You will also notice that during the registration process you will be able to “limit” your gift to exclude any organ or tissues you do not wish to donate or to exclude research. Some of the organs and tissues currently recovered for transplant include: heart, lung, liver, kidney, small bowel, and pancreas, and tissues such as cornea, bone, ligament, tendon, skin, heart valve. To learn more about this go to Questions About Donation.

After you register, you will be sent two emails. The first email will be a confirmation of your registration and the second email is one you can forward to family and friends to notify them of your decision to donate and urge them to get involved as well.

Clicking on the button below will popup a window to a secure site to collect your information.
