“Do you consent to be listed in the Donor Registry System as an
organ, eye and tissue donor?”
If you say yes your name will automatically be added to the Missouri
Organ and Tissue Donor Registry managed by the Missouri Department
of Health and Senior Services or their agent. The registry is on a secure,
confidential database. Joining the registry means you have legally
documented your decision to save lives by becoming an organ and tissue
donor at the time of your death. No further consent is needed, which
relieves your family of making that decision on your behalf.
2.
“Do you authorize an Organ Donor symbol to be placed on your license
or permit?”
If you said yes to be listed in the Donor Registry
system you will also be
asked if you would like an optional indicator placed on your document. If
you say “yes” to add the organ donor symbol, a red heart with a green
banner will appear on the front of your instruction permit, driver, or
nondriver license. There is no fee to place the symbol on your instruction
permit, driver or nondriver license, or place your name in the registry. You
may obtain more information regarding the donor registry or register your
decision and enroll on-line at
