Sperm donor profiles
Our sperm donor profiles are designed to give you an in-depth impression of each donor. Here you can learn more about what information is available, the different donor types and what motivates our donors.
Information about sperm donors
Our sperm donor profiles include a range of detailed information. Apart from physical attributes such as height, weight, blood type, ethnicity, hair and eye colour, profiles also include baby photos, family history, hobbies, personality, and education. The donors represent multiple nationalities and ethnicities, i.e. Scandinavian, British, African, Asian, etc.
All this information is meant to help you find a donor that feels right for you and your family, and it will be a useful resource for your future child. You can also read a description of how our staff have experienced the donor when he's come in for his appointments with us.

Personality
Our donors take a personality test inspired by Myers-Briggs, which provides potential parents with valuable information about each donor's unique traits. For more in-depth analysis, visit 16personalities.com, our favourite resource.
See what the donor looks like as an adult – now also with real adult photos
On selected donor profiles, you can now see what the donor looks like as an adult through either a hand-drawn portrait or a real adult photo. This gives you and your child a more realistic impression of the donor and supports informed and confident decision-making.
Whether a donor profile includes an adult portrait or photo is entirely voluntary. Adult portraits and photos are only available in countries where this is permitted under applicable local legislation. Both are subject to clear and strict guidelines and do not change donor privacy protections.
Adult portraits and photos are available on the donor profile page. All you need is a free account with us to access them.
Find your sperm donor right here
All families are different and have a unique story. This means that the process of finding the right sperm donor is all about you. Start your search with the characteristics that you find the most important.
Quality and security
All our sperm donors undergo a thorough screening process before they are approved. This process evaluates their semen quality and screens their sperm for hereditary, genetic, and contagious diseases. No matter which donor you choose, you are guaranteed the best quality in donor sperm.
ID Release or No ID Release sperm donor
There are two types of sperm donors: ID Release and No ID Release. As of January 2025, we only recruit new ID Release donors. It is up to the sperm donor to decide whether he wants to be an ID Release or a No ID Release donor.
Whether both types of sperm donors are available in your country of treatment depends on the country's legislation. If you are unsure of the terms governing sperm donation in your country, we are always happy to provide advice and counselling.
No matter which donor you choose, the sperm donor never has legal responsibility for, nor paternal rights to children conceived using his semen.
What is an ID Release donor?
An ID Release donor is what we previously called an open donor. An ID Release donor has granted permission for his identity to be revealed to the child when the child comes of age. The child - and only the child - can obtain this information by contacting us.
If the child would like to get in contact with his or her donor, we’ll let the donor know and ask him if he is interested.
What is a No ID Release donor?
A No ID Release donor is what we previously called a non-contact donor. A No ID Release donor doesn't want his identity to be revealed to the child. That is the only difference between ID Release donors and No ID Release donors.
Some people refer to No ID Release donors as anonymous donors. However, their identities are known to us, and their online profiles contain a wide range of personal information. That's why it's more accurate to refer to these donors as No ID Release donors.
Who are the sperm donors?
European Sperm Bank donors are young men with big hearts. They are between 18 and 45 years old and represent the general diversity in society. This basically means that they come from every walk of life with all kinds of religion, ethnicity, education, job, and sexual orientation. They are mentally and physically healthy and have undergone thorough genetic testing to screen for serious inherited genetic diseases. What they have in common is the desire to make a difference by helping people have a child.
Why do our sperm donors choose to donate?
Our sperm donors are all unique and have different reasons for choosing to donate sperm. Still, a lot of the stories we hear are more or less the same. The primary reason why our sperm donors choose to donate is that they find it feels great to help others.
Each sperm donor profile explains the individual's motivation for donating sperm, so you can hear about the decision from the donors themselves. You can gain access to the full profiles by creating a free account right here on our website.
Some people build houses for children in Africa, some help the homeless, and others donate money - I donate sperm.
The motivation
Altruistic Reasons
Most of our donors choose to donate because they want to help others and make a difference.
Biological Reasons
Some donors want to leave their mark on the world - even if they don't have children themselves. This is one of the most common motivations cited by our sperm donors.
Compensation
Donating sperm isn't the secret to becoming rich or building your savings. The payment our donors receive depends on local authorities.
Your obligations
We do our utmost to ensure a wide selection of donors with good sperm quality. We can only achieve that when we take good care of our sperm donors.
When you buy donor sperm from us, you agree not to track or contact our sperm donors. This is out of respect for the individual and what they have agreed to, and also to ensure that young men in the future still want to help women and couples by donating semen.
Sperm donors in your country of residence
When searching for a donor, you will realise that some donors are unavailable in certain countries. The reason for this is that legislation for pregnancy limits and reservations differs from country to country.
If a donor is not available in your country of residence, this is clearly stated on the donor's profile. There, you can also see the countries where treatment is possible.
How to find your donor
While the many details and information in the donor profiles are helpful, some find them overwhelming. This video helps you get clear on what matters the most to you, so you can focus your search when you explore the sperm donor catalogue.
