Virginians May Now Indicate Their Blood Type on Their Driver’s License or ID

Virginians may indicate their blood type when they renew or replace their driver’s license or ID at dmv.virginia.gov or in-person at any Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) customer service center, according to the DMV.

“The law was intended to aid individuals and first responders when every second counts in an emergency,” said DMV Commissioner Gerald Lackey. “DMV is proud to provide Virginians with options. On your driver’s license or ID, you can indicate not only your blood type, but also your willingness to be an organ donor, your veteran status and can even list important medical indicators.”

Customers who are applying for a license or ID for the first time must visit a customer service center in person.
