Uniform Donor Card

FAQs

If my driver’s license already indicates that I want to be an organ donor, do I have to also fill out a separate organ donor card to become a donor?
No.  Signing either is sufficient.

Who pays for the cost of organ donation?
The transplant recipient’s health insurance policy or federal funds will cover the cost of organ donation.  The donor’s family does not pay for the cost.

Can I change my mind about organ donation after signing my license or donor card?
Yes.  To change your mind about organ donation, you can simply tear up the card.  To change the organ designation on your driver’s license, check with your state regulations.  Be sure to inform your family and friends that you have changed your mind about organ donation.
