U.S. Living Will Registry: About Us
U.S. LIVING WILL REGISTRY
Living will – health care proxy
U.S. Living Will Registry
Registration is FREE.
You must register through a Member Health Care Provider or a Community Partner.
Once registered, you are registered for life. If you register your advance directive, you will receive an update form annually so that your information will always be current. There is never a renewal or update charge. The Registry provides this service free of charge through its member Health Care Providers and Community Partners so that everyone can participate, and cost will never prevent anyone from registering these important documents. Health care providers (hospitals, doctors, skilled nursing facilities, nursing facilities, home health agencies, providers of home health care, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospices) will have access to your documents, and your privacy and confidentiality are always maintained. For more information on how the Registry works, visit
How It Works.
After your document is registered, you will receive notification by mail, along with labels to attach to your driver’s license and insurance card stating that you are registered with the U.S. Living Will Registry, and a wallet card listing your Registration number. Once registered, your documents and emergency contact information will be available to health care providers across the country. You will have peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be available whenever and wherever they are needed. Your family will not have to make difficult decisions on your behalf, and by having your wishes available, the problems that can occur when family members disagree about treatment will be avoided.
If you already have an advance directive, find a member Health Care Provider or Community Partner through which to register it.
If you have not yet prepared your advance directive, visit the Advance Directive Forms page for instructions and help in preparing your document.
