You have the option of becoming an Organ Donor and having this
listed on your driver license or ID card. You may become a donor or remove the
designation when the license is first issued, upon renewal or upon a change of address.
Contact one of the following
organizations for more information on organ donation:
If you do not have a license or ID, you may become a
donor by completing the Nevada Donor Registration Form. This is not
necessary if you register on your license or ID.

When
you agree to become an organ donor, the DMV will ask whether you wish to
donate $1 or more to the state Gift
of Life Education Fund (Anatomical Gift Account). The funds are forwarded to the University of Nevada School of Medicine for educational programs on the importance of organ and tissue donation. If enough money is donated, the account can also provide financial
assistance to those in need of a transplant.
DMV accepts donations during the licensing
process and through the purchase of Organ Donor license plates. You can also donate directly to the
Gift of Life Education
Fund.
