organ donor card

Gift-of-life document

An organ donor card is a document indicating that its holder consents to having their organs harvested for transplantation after death.

The card typically specifies which organs may be donated and provides emergency contact information.

In many places, this function has been replaced by a designation on driver's licenses: She checked the organ donor box when renewing her license.
