You’ll be asked an important question.
When you renew your Ohio driver’s license or state ID, you’ll be asked whether you want to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor. Getting Your First Driver’s License or State ID? Click here.

Before you answer, here’s what your “yes” can mean.

One donor can:

  • Save up to 8 lives

    through organ donation

  • Heal more than 100 people

    through eye and tissue donation

Why say yes?

Registering as a donor is a simple decision with the power to give others more time, more milestones and more life.

  • Your medical care will always come first.
  • Donation does not prevent an open-casket funeral.
  • There is no cost to a donor’s family.
  • Age and health rarely prevent someone from becoming a donor. Medical professionals determine what can be donated when the time comes.

One question. One answer. Up to eight lives saved.

When they ask, say yes.
