Page OverviewTop How to Register
You can register to become an organ donor when you apply for your Georgia driver's license. The Department of Driver Services' Customer Service Center will provide you with the Uniform Donor Card for you to complete. Be sure to speak with your family about your decision, whether you choose to donate or not.
Another resource for information and registering in Georgia is the LifeLink of Georgia Foundation.
Top Deciding to Donate
Many people fear organ donation, but every attempt will be made to save your life before your donor status is even revealed. By Georgia law, a different team of doctors will remove your organs only after you have been declared medically and legally dead.
Organ donation does not cost you or your family anything.
Hospitals are required to contact organ donation centers when a donor becomes available, according to state law.
