If you enrolled in the previous donor registry prior to July 23, 2008, your enrollment is not automatically included in the Donate Life consent registry. The registry that was launched in 2000 was a registry of intent, which means that the consent of your next of kin would be required in order to confirm your donation. In order to ensure that your decisions to be an organ, eye and tissue donor is legally honored, you must enroll in the Donate Life Registry, which is a registry of legal consent.
