New York State's need for organ and tissue donation is tremendous. Approximately 10,000 New Yorkers  are waiting for a life-saving transplant. Just one person who donates his or her organs can save up  to eight lives. If you are 16 years of age or older, simply go to dmv.ny.gov and sign up to be an organ donor through  MyDMV, or go to donatelife.ny.gov. If you prefer, enroll by signing the organ donation box on your driver license or non-driver identification  card application or on your renewal form. If it's not time for you to renew your license or non-driver ID,  simply go to donatelife.ny.gov to print and mail in your enrollment application or enroll online;  it's just that easy!
