when you get your license (or an official ID) there should be an option to add a sticker to the ID that will say "donor" on it. If you do want to be a donor, just put the sticker onto the ID.

You will be ask when you get your drivers license. I would make sure there is not an age limitation. If there is then tell your parents of your wishes. There is a saying that man hath no greater gift than to lay down his life for another. I think organ donations is just as great a gift. I salute you and good luck.
Note:
What about the donor form on my drivers license? You may think that you have already made your wishes known by signing the organ donation form on your state drivers licensee, but that alone may not guarantee that your wishes will be carried out. In many states next of kin will be asked for consent for organ harvesting despite a signed consent of the patient. If your next of kin decline to give consent your organs will not be donated.
Health and Human Services has a national campaign to encourage Americans to agree to organ donation. They also have a model national organ donor card which includes space for signatures of the donor and two witnesses. The purpose of the witness signatures is to help ensure that family member of other who may need to consent to donation will know the individual's wishes. You can download cards ready for printing or order up to ten free cards from the HHS website.
"We owe it to our loved ones to tell them our wishes and help them know they're making the right decision in case they should have to speak for us," Secretary Thompson said. Fifteen people die everyday while waiting for a donated organ. How many of these people died because someone did not want to discuss this sometimes-uncomfortable subject? Do your family a favor and talk to them, you may save a life.

Have a talk with your parents about this, and let them know this is your wish.
When you are old enough to get your liscense, tell them at the DMV, and they can have you fill out a form, and put a special sticker on them to let ER Docs know you are an organ donor.
Its a good thing that you want to do!

You can specify rather or not you are an organ donor on your state ID or Driver's License/Learners Permit.

Check the box when you get your drivers license, then die.
You can donate a kidney, lung, and part of your liver (it (the liver) will grow back), without dying.
