Organ Donor ID Cards: A Lifesaving Choice in Your Wallet

Registering as an organ donor is an act of immense generosity. In the UK, this process involves signing up with the NHS Organ Donor Register. Discussing this decision with your family is crucial, as your desire to donate your organs could drastically change, and potentially save, the lives of others should you pass away. To express this decision clearly, carrying an Organ Donor ID card can prove to be invaluable.

These cards serve as a clear declaration of your intent to be an organ donor. In addition, they provide practical information such as the names and phone numbers of two emergency contacts on the card's reverse side, and your photo and name on the front. The cards measure 86mm by 54mm (or 3.38 inches by 2.13 inches), identical to a credit card, so that they can be kept in a wallet or purse.
