Where to sign up to become an organ donor

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — April is National Donate Life Month, making it the perfect time to become an organ donor.

Organ donors allow their organs, tissues and eyes to be transplanted after death, saving another life in the process.

Americans can become organ donors regardless of where they live. Florida residents can sign up through the state at donatelifeflorida.org.

For those who live elsewhere, visit www.organdonor.gov/sign-up and select your state to sign up.
