How do I become an organ donor? To be an organ donor, make sure your driver's license indicates your desire. Contact your state's department of motor vehicles to find out how to do that. Next, tell your family about your decision. Even if you carry an organ donor card, they may be required to sign a consent form. The U.S. Government's Organ Donation site answers questions about the process.
