Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles

The Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is often the place where people are first asked if they want to be an organ, eye and tissue donor. Simply by asking those who are receiving or renewing their driver’s license or state identification card if they want to be an organ, eye and tissue donor, BMV employees are providing hope to the thousands of men, women and children waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant.

The BMV is also responsible for maintaining the Ohio Donor Registry (ODR), which is a secure database that contains the names of registered organ, eye and tissue donors in Ohio. After a death has occurred, the local organ procurement organization can access the ODR to determine if an individual has made a donation decision.

The ODR means an individual’s decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor is an advanced directive and cannot be altered or changed by their next-of-kin. It is important to note that for anyone under the age of 18, a parent or guardian can amend or revoke a donation decision. LifeCenter encourages all Ohioans to make a decision regarding donation, to register that decision and to share their decision with their family.
