To become an organ donor, what must you do?

To become an organ donor, the necessary step is to check the box on the license application. This process allows individuals to officially register their choice to donate organs upon their death. By marking this box, you are providing legal consent for your organs and tissues to be used in transplants, which can save lives and improve the quality of life for many patients in need.

The other options, while they may seem relevant to the concept of organ donation, do not fulfill the legal requirements for becoming a donor. Informing friends is a personal choice and can be a good conversation to have, but it does not constitute official registration. Paying a fee at the DMV is not a requirement for organ donation; there are no additional costs associated with this choice. Wearing a special bracelet might signify that you are an organ donor, but it does not replace the need for formal registration through the appropriate channels such as checking the box on your license application. Thus, the correct and official way to become an organ donor is to indicate your intention on the license application.
