It also needs to be signed by your current physician. We had to get a new one when a family member switched doctors.
This is for Florida.

Posting on the refrigerator does no one any favors, if the person has a heart attack on the golf course, or gets into a lethal car accident on the road (for example).
I would suggest that anyone who has a DNR carry it on their person at all times.
You can have a copy - on yellow paper - on the refrigerator door. Or get a life capsule to put IN the fridge, on a shelf of the door inside. That would have the DNR, living will, list of medications and allergies, current physician's name, emergency contacts.
You can ALSO have a magnet on the fridge door informing EMTs that the patient is carrying their DNR on their person.
