no there's not an age limit unless you are a minor

there's no real age 'limit.' You can put it on your driver's license until you're a hundred years old if you like
That being said, the odds that they'd harvest the organs of a person over the age of fifty is very slim. The younger the better, but that isn't a rule set in stone (if you're remarkably healthy and over a certain age, who knows--i'm not a transplant surgeon, i can't comment with 100% assurance).
but as it may be that you're asking about a younger age limit--16 minimum with parental consent (goes without saying really).

Not that I know of. When my Nephew died he was only 2 and they used both his kidneys in 2 different other kids his age.

You have to be at least 18 years old in the USA - but if that is your wish tell your parents!@

no - 'cause GOD forbid sumthin happened to your child - you can decide to donate their organs. if ur talking about u and u don't have a driver's license - tell ur parents if u want to or not.
