Anatomical Gifts, Driver's License and Identification Card
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is required by law to ask all driver's license and identification card applicants if they wish to participate in organ or tissue donation.

Individuals who wish to participate will have "Organ Donor" noted on the front of the driver's license or identification card. There is no additional fee for participation or having the "Organ Donor" designation printed.  Declining to participate does not place any additional language on the license or card.

A separate Anatomical Gift Directive is not necessary for those who wish to give general authorization for donation of needed organs and who participate through Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Having the "Organ Donor" notation is sufficient to satisfy all the requirements for consent to donation.

PennDOT also provides form "DL-80" to add or remove the "Organ Donor" designation with a current driver's license. This is the application for change, correction, or replacement of a non-commercial driver's license, which is also available at the department's website: www.dmv.state.pa.us
