Bureau of Motor Vehicles

The Bureau of Motor Vehicles is often the first place where people are asked if they want to be an organ and tissue donor. The staff at each agency has a wide range of responsibilities, but this is one aspect of their job that truly saves the lives of others. By asking about donation with every individual who receives or renews a driver's license or state identification, these individuals help to provide hope of a future for the thousands of men, women, and children waiting for a transplant.

The Bureau of Motor Vehicles' role in the donation process is a partnership that is constantly growing. They are responsible for maintaining the new Ohio Donor Registry. The creation of a donor registry means your license designation to be a donor is more than just a reminder to family and friends. When you say, "I'm a donor. It's on my license," you can be assured your wishes will be honored.

To the Bureau of Motor Vehicles staff, we say thank you for your on-going support and for making a difference with organ and tissue donation! Saving lives wouldn't be possible without your help!

The Donate Life license plate was released in April 2007. It s available for purchase at your local BMV agency or online at http://www.ohiobmv.com.
