Contact Us | Body Donation Program | UC Davis Health

Please complete the donor application and return it to the Body Donation Program by mail, fax, or email. After your application is reviewed and approved, you will receive a confirmation letter along with your donor identification card by mail within approximately three weeks. This card will include your donor number and the contact number to call at the time of death. We recommend keeping a copy of your completed application for your personal records.

We encourage you to inform your family, physician, and/or care facility about your decision and the necessary contact procedures. If needed, applications can be expedited—processing can often be completed the same day or within one to two business days. Please contact our office for assistance.

Important: We accept handwritten or stylus-applied signatures. At this time, we cannot accept digital signatures (such as those submitted through Adobe Sign).

If you need to request a hard copy of the application by mail, please contact our office: 916-734-9560.
