Every state keeps its own organ donor registry, separate from your driver's license. This directory links you straight to the official page to register, update, or remove your status. No account, no spin, just the source.
Whatever brought you here, the first step is the same: find your state's official registry.
Take your name off your state's donor registry, and understand why your license may still show a heart afterward.
Find my state →Sign up as a donor, change your preferences, or check whether you're already on the registry.
Find my state →Read what's happened in organ procurement oversight since 2025, sourced from official reporting.
Read the news log →Removing yourself from your state's registry is the legally operative step. In most states this is instant and done online.
In nearly every state, the "donor" heart on your existing license or ID stays until the card is reissued. Registry removal alone doesn't erase it.
