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.

Did you ever wonder what happens after you say "YES" to donation when obtaining or renewing your Connecticut or Massachusetts driver's license?

Your decision to become a donor is held in a donor registry database accessible by the organ procurement organization (OPO). If you become eligible to give the gift of life through donation, the OPO will consult the donor registry. If you are registered as a donor and have a red heart on your driver's license or state ID card, this is considered first-person consent for both organ and tissue donation.

It is very important for your family to know your wishes about donation. If you do become eligible to donate, your family will most likely be the best source of information about your medical and social history and LifeChoice will need their help to determine your suitability as an organ and/or tissue donor.

Please remember that it is important to discuss your decision about donation with your family.
