Final answer:

To become an organ donor, indicate your choice when applying for or renewing your driver's license at the DMV, where a symbol will be added to your license to show your consent to organ donation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To indicate your desire to participate in the organ donor program using your driver's license, you can do so during the application or renewal process for your driver's license at your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). In most states, you will be asked if you wish to become an organ donor. If you agree, a symbol, often a small heart, will be added to your driver's license to reflect your decision to be an organ donor. Should something happen to you, this lets authorities and healthcare providers know that you have consented to organ donation, and your organs can potentially save or improve the lives of others.
