registering as an organ and tissue donor in new zealand

There is no official donor register in New Zealand.

You can indicate your wish to be an organ donor or not when you apply for a driver’s licence or when you renew your licence. If you would like to donate your organs and tissues following your death, the word 'donor' will be printed on your licence. This is an expression of your interest only.

The most important step is to make sure your family and friends know whether or not you want to be a donor. In the event of your death, your family will always be asked if they know your wishes. If you have told them there is nothing else you need to do.
