The NHS Organ Donor Card
An organ donor card is a great way to show you’re committed to saving lives.
We send a new organ donor card to everyone who wants to donate when they register for the first time.
You can also download your organ donor card if you would prefer a digital version.
You don’t need to have your organ donor card on you at all times, but you may choose to carry your card with you as a symbol of your decision to help others.
If you are able to become an organ donor in the future, the decision you have recorded on the NHS Organ Donor Register will be checked.
Organ donation will only go ahead with the support of your family. By being on the NHS Organ Donor Register you are helping your loved ones to know what you want.
Act now to save lives in future.
