Wisconsin Donor Registry now available online
Posted: 4/12/2010 3:56:42 PM
It only takes a few minutes to complete the online registration process on the new Wisconsin Donor Registry, but by doing so you could save up to eight lives through organ donation, give sight to two people and greatly improve dozens of lives through tissue donation.
In Wisconsin, you can go to the new online registry at www.YesIWillWisconsin.com to legally authorize donation. Anyone older than age 15½ with a Wisconsin driver’s license or identification card can register, important even if you already have an orange donor dot on your license. You may also sign up when you apply for or renew your driver’s license or ID.
Documenting your donation decision on the Donor Registry ensures that your decision is legally binding, and that decision does not require the consent of any other person. The Registry allows donation professionals to quickly confirm a person’s donation decision, share that decision with a person’s family, and work with them to honor that choice – saving precious minutes for those waiting for a life-saving transplant.
