How to Register for Organ Donation — One Last Gift to the World
TimeWill Editorial · Updated 2026-06-19
In China, organ donation is registered through the China Organ Donation Administrative Center website or its WeChat mini-program. Registration is free and can be withdrawn at any time. The key step after registering is telling your family, because after you pass the final decision rests with your family, not your registration record. State your donation wishes clearly in your digital will too.
Register at the China Organ Donation Administrative Center (www.china-organdonation.org.cn) or by searching the 'China Organ Donation' mini-program on WeChat. It takes about five minutes, it's free, and you can withdraw at any time. You'll fill in your personal information and your donation wishes (organs, body, or corneas).
The Most Important Step: Tell Your Family
Your family can't see your donation registration while you're alive. If you never brought it up, they may decline the donation after you pass, because they don't know it was your wish. Record your donation wishes in TimeWill so they're sent to your family automatically when the heartbeat triggers, and tell them in person as well.
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between organ donation and body donation?
Organ donation transplants healthy organs to patients in need (heart, liver, kidneys, and so on). Body donation gives your body to a medical school for teaching and research. You can register for both on the same platform, or just one.
Q: If I register, will my organs definitely be donated?
Not necessarily. Donation only goes ahead if several conditions are met: you must pass away in a hospital (organs need maintained blood circulation), and you must have no contraindications such as an infectious disease or a malignant tumor. Your family also holds veto power, which is why you must tell them your wishes after registering.
Q: What's the difference between registering online and writing it in a digital will?
Online registration is an official record that hospitals can look up. Writing it in a digital will is for your family, to make sure they know your wishes. Doing both is ideal.
