Signing Up Online

Yes. The online database of donors at this website is held in a confidential and secure site, protected by the most up-to-date web security standards. All information submitted will be used only by donation and recovery professionals and will be kept completely confidential. This information will not be shared or sold.

If you registered to be a donor here at DonateLifeVirginia.org, you can remove yourself from the Virginia Donor Registry by updating your registration on this website.

If you registered to be a donor at RegisterMe.org, you can remove yourself by updating your registration on Donate Life America’s National Donate Life Registry website (RegisterMe.org).

If you registered to be a donor through your iPhone, you can make changes to your registration in the National Donate Life Registry by referring to Apple’s documentation page, “Set up your Medical ID in the Health app on your iPhone,” and following the instructions in the section that says “You can edit your information with Donate Life at any time.”

To protect your identity, the Virginia Donor Registry will not allow changes to key pieces of personally identifying information, such as your name and date of birth, once you have signed up. You will need to re-register. Having multiple registrations is not a problem. We will simply consider the most recent registration to be the binding one.

In order to ensure that your loved ones are aware of your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor, we suggest that you also designate donation either by signing up through the Virginia DMV or by registering to be a donor on this website.

Yes. Anyone between those ages can join DonateLifeVirginia.org. If a child 17 years old or younger dies, a parent or guardian will make the final decision concerning organ, tissue, and eye donation. Federal law prevents anyone under the age of 13 from signing up since it is illegal to ask a child for personal information online.

In all the state/district donor registries currently in operation, to date there have been no reported problems with persons registering people other than themselves. The authenticity of the registrant can be determined using the date/time of the registration, and personal information requested during the signup process. Family members are also consulted at the time of donation and will be able to verify the donor’s information.

In addition to registering online, you may download a registration form to complete and mail, or you may register when you apply for or renew your driver’s license or ID card through the DMV.
