Did you know:

• Nearly 10,000 New Yorkers are currently waiting for an organ transplant, and every 13 hours someone dies waiting for an organ transplant in our state.
• Only 18 percent of New Yorkers age 18 and over have enrolled in the NYS Donate Life Registry, compared to the national average of 42 percent.
• Just one organ donor can save up to eight lives and improve the lives of up to 50 people by donating tissues and corneas.

For information about organ, eye and tissue donations through the New York State Donate Life Registry, visit the Organ and Tissue Donation page at the NYS Department of Health Web site.

You can enroll in the Registry online through MyDMV.  (Note: Sign up information from a driver license or other photo document issued by NYS DMV and other personal information is required.)

You can also enroll when you complete the donation section on a driver license or Non-Driver ID renewal application form or on form MV-44 (Application for Driver License or Non-Driver ID Card) and submit the form to a DMV office.
