Did you know that lives are saved at the DMV every day? It’s true! Donation makes transplants possible, and donation starts with donor registration. The work of DMVs across the country enables more lifesaving transplants to be performed every year.
Vital Partnership
Our DMV partners are on the front lines of service and have helped 170 million people across the country register their decision to be a deceased organ, eye and tissue donor.1 That’s why Donate Life America leads the celebration of National DMV Appreciation Month every September. This observance recognizes the vital role of DMVs and Driver License Partners (DLPs) in saving and healing lives. More than 90% of state donor registrations come through the DMV thanks to their employees asking the donor designation question every day.2
And that’s not all! DMVs do more than ask the donation question; they also create and participate in initiatives to promote donation and uplift the Donate Life mission. Read on for more about the incredible work our DMV and DLP partners are doing and how Donate Life America recognizes their efforts through the DLA DMV Awards.
