5. Common Questions about the Michigan Organ Donor Registry How do I confirm that I am registered? If you already have the Donor designation on the front of your driver's license or state ID, you are registered. If not, you will need to register on the Michigan Organ Donor Registry . What if I previously signed up on the Michigan Organ Donor Registry? You must renew your registration to receive the Donor sticker for your driver's license or state ID, and to update your donor registration. What will happen to the 1 million names already on the Michigan Organ Donor Registry? Gift of Life will search all names on the donor registry for a potential donor’s name. However, you will only receive a sticker and have your contact information kept up-to-date if you sign up through the methods listed here. Can I indicate specific organs and/or tissues for donation? No, because medical technology advancements, the types of organs and tissues used for transplantation and research may change. It is best to share specific organs and/or tissues for donation with family and/or your patient advocate.
