Yellow Dot is a free program designed to help first responders provide life-saving medical attention during that first “golden hour” after a crash or other emergency. A Yellow Dot in the driver’s-side rear window of your vehicle will alert first responders that vital medical information is stored in the glove compartment.
The Yellow Dot kit contains a personal information card and a Yellow Dot decal.
How Yellow Dot Works
- Complete both sides of the personal information card as fully as possible, in pencil. Attach a recent photo of yourself and place the card in a visible location in your car’s glove compartment.
- Complete one card for each person who regularly occupies the vehicle. See below to request additional medical information forms.
- Place the Yellow Dot decal on the rear driver’s side window to alert first responders to look in the glove compartment for your medical information.
- Update the card annually yourself or bring it to your annual medical check-up. If you sell your car, remove the Yellow Dot sticker.

How will Yellow Dot help?
- Allow the first responder to have pertinent personal and medical information when they arrive on the scene regardless of the individual’s condition
- Allow first responder to use the “Golden Hour” to begin assisting the injured rather than trying to pry information out of them or someone else
