NOKR DMV INITIATIVE
This initiative
is similar to that of the
Organ Donor program, which is
administered by most licensing
offices in the USA.
The Next Of Kin
Registry (NOKR) was
established as a FREE tool for
daily emergencies and national
disasters. NOKR is an
emergency contact system to
help if you or your family
member is missing, injured or
deceased. NOKR provides the
public a free proactive
service to store emergency
contacts, next of kin and
vital medical information that
would be critical to emergency
response agencies. Stored
information is only accessible
via a secure area that is only
accessible by emergency public
trust agencies that have
registered with NOKR.
NOKR is a non-partisan;
non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated
to bridging rapid emergency
contact information. NOKR was
established in January 2004,
for daily emergency
situations.
Proposal:
To provide the option
at all Department Of Motor
Vehicle (DMV) offices
nationwide, to have a decal or
image placed on your state
issued drivers licenses or
Identification card showing
your next of kin / emergency
point of contact is registered
with NOKR. See the samples
below.
We are also suggesting that
motor vehicle licensing
offices print information
about the FREE NOKR resource
in their state driver’s
license handbook. Any
individual applying for a
state issued Identification
card or drivers license would
have the option of
completing a short
registration form, indicating
who their emergency point of
contact would be, in the event
of critical need nationally.
NOKR is a public service tool
for both citizens and
emergency agencies. NOKR is a
facilitating tool for those
who cannot directly speak to
emergency personal.

This proposed initiative
would cover all US
States |
The NOKR collection form,
which folds in the middle and
seals, would be mailed in to
the NOKR or could be batched
mailed from the Motor Vehicles
office(s) (DMV). This form
would also have a small
sticker decal as seen above
that could be placed on the
individual’s identification
card, driver’s license or
passport and affixed to either
the front or backside.
Once forms are received from
the individual via mail or DMV
offices this information is
entered into the National
Registry and archived. The
individuals emergency contact
information is only available
to registered Local and State
Emergency Agencies working in
an official capacity,
attempting to locate a next of
kin or emergency point of
contact.
