NJ Motor Vehicle Commission & organ donation

NJ Motor Vehicle Commission & organ donation

Registering to be an organ donor is as easy as saying, “Yes!”

Thanks to the partnership of NJ Sharing Network with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), the number of registered organ and tissue donors in the state is steadily on the rise. But we won’t stop until we reach 100% registration!

Posters, flyers, a page in the driver’s manual, inserts included with renewal forms … all New Jersey Motor Vehicle Agencies provide customers with educational materials about organ and tissue donation.

Curious how many people are registered in your county or across the state?  

Important Information about Skip the Trip:At this time the MVC is unable to process organ donor designations through Skip the Trip.  Customers can register to be a donor in one of three ways, all of which are connected to their driver’s license/ID record:

• In person at a NJ Motor Vehicle Agency (MVA) during driver’s license/ID registration or renewal.
• Online any time
