Organ Donation Information & Facts
How to Register
"Be an Everyday HERO!"
You can register to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor at DonateLifeWisconsin.org or at your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). If you register your decision at the DMV, your driver's license will be reflected with an orange donor dot.
How does donation work?
Organ donation can be procured through living donors and deceased donors. Living donation is determined based on extensive medical matching. Deceased donation occurs once the donor has passed. The surgical team removes the organs and tissues from the donor's body in an operating room. Organs are recovered, and then additional authorized tissues such as bone, cornea, and skin.
