Who can become a donor? People of all ages and medical histories can sign up as potential organ, tissue and eye donors. Your medical condition at the time of death will determine what can be donated; medical criteria changes regularly. Why donate? Over 112,000 people are waiting for an organ transplant in the United States. Your decision to donate your organs can save the lives of up to eight people, and directly improve the lives of up to 50 people through tissue donation. How do I express my wish to become an organ, tissue and eye donor? 1. Sign up on the Michigan Organ Donor Registry at giftoflifemichigan.org/go/washtenaw, or call 800‐482‐4881. You can also sign up at any Secretary of State branch office at any time. 2. Once received, the Michigan Secretary of State will mail you a red heart donor sticker to place on the front of your driver's license or state ID card. What is the Michigan Organ Donor Registry? The registry is a confidential, 24 hour‐a‐day, computerized database that documents your wish to become an organ, tissue and eye donor. How do I confirm that I am registered? If you already have the red heart donor symbol on the front of your driver's license or state ID, you are registered. If not, you need to sign up on Michigan Organ Donor Registry. What if I am already on the Michigan Organ Donor Registry? You must sign up again to receive the red heart donor sticker for your driver's license or state ID. Why is it important to register my wish to become a donor? Upon every hospital death, Gift of Life Michigan is notified. Having your donor registry form on file helps to ensure that your decision to become a donor is carried out. Sign up today at www.giftoflifemichigan.org/go/washtenaw or call 800‐482‐4881.
