Save Lives.
Say Yes.
Register Today
More than 5,000 Floridians are waiting for the gift of a life-saving transplant, a chance that depends on the generosity of donors. Each individual can save up to eight lives through organ donation, restore sight to two people through cornea donation, and heal more than 75 others through tissue donation. A single “yes” can bring hope and healing.
What It Means To
Join The Registry
Becoming an organ, tissue, and eye donor means choosing to share the gift of life with others. By adding your name to Florida’s Joshua Abbott Organ and Tissue Donor Registry, you consent to have your organs, eyes, and tissues considered for transplantation after death.
You are always in control
- You may choose to exclude any organs or tissues from your donation.
- You may also decide whether your organs and tissues may be used for approved medical research, therapy, or education if they are not suitable for transplant.
- You can view or update your donor record at any time through your My Profile page if you registered online or at a Tax Collector’s office.
Examples of donations include
- Organs for lifesaving transplants: heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, and small intestine.
- Tissues that heal and restore quality of life: eyes, corneas, heart valves, bones, skin grafts, and soft tissue such as tendons.

Floridians between 13 and 17 years old are welcome to join the Registry. However, parents and legal guardians have the final authority to decide about organ, eye, and tissue donation at the appropriate time. That’s why it’s important for families to have conversations about the decision to join the registry.
