Help for filling out the fields when becoming a member
Date format
Please enter the date of birth in this format:
Day, Month, Year – so e.g. 25.06.1968 for June 25, 1968.
Otherwise the system will not accept your entry.
“Edit” button
Takes you to your personal information that we need to activate your membership. Please fill in as many fields as possible. If you don’t know what to write in a field, leave it blank and go to the next one.
Fields with a red asterisk * and colored background are required: We need to know your name, age, blood type (though you can add this later), how to reach you, etc. – likewise, uploading your ID serves to verify your identity.
You are not a member until you have confirmed the information at the very bottom with “Save entry”.
“View” button
Takes you to your member ID card, living will and emergency information.
You can view and print the member ID card immediately, but the living will must be edited before it can be viewed, and the emergency information cannot be accessed until you edit the living will.
Living will (patient directive)
The living will is a binding document for your attending medical professional, in which you can clearly specify which medical treatments may/should be carried out on you in an emergency. You also specify a trusted person whom you authorize to make certain or all decisions for you in the event that you are unresponsive. To be valid, the living will must contain your personal details, be dated and signed. We recommend that you update the date regularly so that it is clear that the patient directive is up to date. However, it does not have to be notarized; your signature is sufficient. In our case, the digital signature is considered to be the fact that you can only write the living will in your password-protected member area, so it is guaranteed that it is written by you only. However, we recommend that you carry a printed and traditionally signed version of your living will with you (along with your Safeblood membership card) to avoid discussions. If the digital version is not accepted, you or your trusted person can state that a paper version with signature will be provided upon request.
You can create, edit and view the living will exclusively in your member area. However, emergency medical personnel can access it at any time via the QR code on your member ID card. This is also the actual main purpose of the living will. More information on emergency information can be found on this page.
The living will essentially has two parts:
The first part: the “Personal data disposing person” and “Medical data disposing person” come directly from the database and cannot be changed here, but only in your member area under “My data” and press “edit” there.
The second part: In the text field, the actual text of your living will is given as a sample. You can change whatever you want, you are completely free here. In any case, you must complete the points where there is a “…..”. Behind the “…..” is explained in each case what you have to insert there instead of the points (e.g. “first name + surname”). Then delete this oblique printed explanation text.
If you don’t have or don’t want a “trusted person”, delete everything related to it.
If your trusted person does not have the same blood group as you, you must change this here in the text or delete the entire passage.
Very important: When you have customized your living will, save it by pressing the red “Save changes” button – if you do not do this, everything will revert to the original sample text.
After you have saved your changes, you can upload a scanned signature. To do this, select the file that contains your signature (1, Choose file) and then click on “Upload signature (2)”.
Once you see the message “Signature successfully uploaded”, your living will is up-to-date.
If you do not yet have a scanned signature, make one on white paper and photograph or scan it before you can upload it.
(Please do not upload the signature under “Upload ID”. If you see this option, you are on the wrong page).
Non-members can find a sample version of a living will here.
You can view, edit, print, download your living will as a PDF file or forward it directly to your doctor via e-mail, for example.
Further steps: Add family member or delete entry
Here you can add a family member or delete the entry for the person you currently see. However, only this person will be deleted, the other family members will remain. If you click “Delete entry”, you will first be asked again if you really want to delete the entry. Deleting by mistake is not possible.
