Anatomical Gifts
Registering to become an Organ, Tissue and Eye Donor
Anatomical Gifts
Ohio law requires that Living Wills created after December 15, 2004, must include a person’s
preferences about Anatomical Gifts (organ and tissue donation). The Living Will form included
in this booklet has the required section and also provides instructions for registering your wishes
with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Living Wills completed before December 16, 2004, that do not
include the Anatomical Gifts (organ and tissue donation) section are still valid and will be honored
in Ohio. If you have previously completed an approved Donor Registry Enrollment Form or made
the affi rmation when renewing your driver license or state identifi cation card, then you have given
consent for your organs, tissue, and/or eyes, if usable, to be removed upon your death. The revised
Living Will form allows you to be specifi c regarding the type(s) of organ/tissue you wish to donate
and for what purposes.
How Do I Register to Become a Donor?
There are two ways to register:
1. When you obtain or renew your Ohio Driver License or State I.D. Card, you will be asked,
“Do you want to make an anatomical gift?” By answering “yes,” your name will be added to
Ohio’s Donor Registry. This authorizes the use of any of your usable organs, tissues or eyes
for any purposes authorized by law; you are not agreeing to donate your entire body. If your
name is in the registry, donation will move forward at the time of your death.
2. If you wish to join the registry at a time other than when you renew your license or State I.D.
Card, or if you wish to refi ne or change your donation consent, you must either:
A. Go to and click the Donate Life icon to access and complete the
online registry form.
OR
B. Complete the Donor Registry Enrollment Form that is attached to the Ohio Living Will
form and return it to Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Attn: Record Clearance Unit, P.O.
Box 16583, Columbus, OH 43216-6583.
Through both the online and the paper form, you can specify the organs or tissues you wish to
donate, and the specifi c purposes for which they can be used. You can use the enrollment form to
become a donor, even if you have neither a driver’s license nor a state-issued identifi cation card, by
providing your Social Security number on the enrollment form.
In addition to registering your intent to become a donor, you should discuss your wishes with your
family.
