Why are we doing this? To ensure that our donors are properly identified in Red Cross records, are not currently disqualified from donating, and can be reached for follow up if needed. What is acceptable identification? The preferred identifier is a government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license or a Red Cross blood donor card. 16-Year Old Donors A 16-Year Old donor may present to donate at a  blood center providing that their parent reads What You Must Know Before Giving Blood, What You Must Know about NAT and signs a Parental Consent Form. For the safety of your children and the blood supply, children may not accompany parents in the collection areas. Also, young children may not be left unattended in the waiting area. We will be happy to re-schedule your appointment. Thank you for your cooperation!
