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. 

## What can you do to help? 

## Enroll in the NYS Registry Online: 

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. 

## Enroll By Mail: 

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! 

•  Tell your family you have enrolled in the  Registry and have given your legal consent for donation to occur upon your death; 

•  Your decision to donate will not affect your medical treatment; 

•  The organs and tissues you donate will go to the patients in the greatest need;
