Change your choice in the Donor Register

You can always change your choice

Everyone aged 18 and older is listed in the Donor Register. In it, you indicate what may happen to your organs and tissues after your death. Your choice remains valid until you change it yourself.

Sometimes your life changes. Sometimes you hear something on the news or read a story that gives you food for thought. As a result, you might want to adjust what exactly you donate. An adjustment is always allowed. For example:

• You now think differently about organ donation than before. For example, because you read something about it.
• You have a new partner. But the Donor Register states that your ex-partner is allowed to decide.
• You have an illness or medical situation that gives you food for thought.
• Someone close to you has received or donated an organ.
• Your religious or personal beliefs have changed.
• You want to make an adjustment to which organs or tissues you want to donate.

How do I change my choice in the Donor Register?

You can change your choice at donorregister.nl. You log in with your DigiD. This is possible 24 hours a day, as often as you want. You can choose from four options:

• Yes, I want to be a donor
• No, I do not want to be a donor
• My partner or family decides after my death
• I designate one person to decide after my death
