Donate Life Illinois is the coalition of donation agencies across the state supporting organ and tissue donation.

ATTENTION ILLINOIS RESIDENTS! Signing the back of your Illinois driver's license DOES NOT ensure your wishes to be an organ donor are honored. Illinois residents need to RE-REGISTER after January 1, 2006 to be included in Secretary of State Jesse White's new donor registry! It literally takes 30 seconds. Don't wait, help save lives by taking action NOW!
