Donate Life Northwest
GIVE LIFE, TAKE ACTION
Thousands of lives are saved thanks to organ donors. Eye and Tissue donors improve the quality of life for thousands more.
HERE'S HOW
Simply by signing up on a Donor Registry, you can save up to 8 lives and improve the lives of more than 50 others. The Registry documents your decision and is the best means of ensuring that your decision to be a donor is known and honored.
WHAT IS A DONOR REGISTRY?
This secure, confidential, statewide database lists everyone who has indicated their wish to be an organ, eye and tissue donor. It is accessible 24/7 only to authorized organ, eye and tissue recovery personnel. It is administered by Donate Life Northwest, a non-profit organization.
I HAVE A "D" ON MY DRIVER'S LICENSE.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
The "D" on a driver's license demonstrates your
intent to donate. Signing up on the Registry is considered
consent to donate, and, for individuals 18 and older, donation does not require the signature of any other person.
WHO MAY SIGN UP ON THE REGISTRY?
Whether or not they have a donor designation on their license, individuals are urged to sign up on the Registry. For registrants under 18, the consent of a parent or legal guardian is required for donation to occure.
