How it works
1. Application
Start by filling in our online application form. You chose a date and time for your first visit. Your sperm sample will be analysed, and if successfully approved, we will invite you to the next steps.
2. Interview
You will meet with our donor coordinator to discuss your family history, to rule out any serious hereditary disorders. You will also be provided with further information about what it means to be a sperm donor.
3. Health Check
You will have a physical examination with one of our doctors. Hereafter a blood and urine sample will be taken. The results are analysed and approved by our geneticist. You will be compensated for blood samples and the physical examination.
4. Counselling and Profile
The last step is counselling with our donor coordinator. We will finalise your profile and record an audio interview. Following successful completion of this stage, you will be approved as a qualified donor. At this step, you will also be compensated.

At European Sperm Bank, you can only become an ID release donor (previously known as an ‘open donor’). As an ID release donor, we may share personally identifiable information about you with individuals conceived with your sperm if they request it. The specific age at which this can happen depends on the country’s legislation, but it typically occurs when the person turns 16 or 18.
Of all sperm banks, we have the most donor locations in Copenhagen. You can donate in one of our Copenhagen departments (København N, København K, Islands Brygge), in Lyngby, Aarhus and Aalborg.
We ask you to donate at least four times per month.
Once you have been accepted as a donor, you’ll get DKK 300 per approved donation. For each approved donation, 200 DKK will be transferred to your bank account once a week and the remaining 100 DKK is paid out roughly once every three months; this is dependent on your routine blood and urine tests showing that you have no sexually transmitted diseases.
On top of these amounts, you also get financial compensation for all your blood tests. The compensation is regulated by law.
If you’ve not had any sexually transmitted diseases for a whole year and have donated frequently, you’ll be eligible to receive an average of 6,000 DKK per month in compensation. This includes a free Fitness World membership (worth 300 DKK per month), which is activated as soon as you qualify.
