RULES ON UK DONORS AT A LICENSED CENTRE IN THE UK 

The rules on who can be a sperm donor in the UK are very strict, governed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) to protect the recipients, the child and the donor.
Donors must:  
  • Be between the ages of 18 and 41
  • Be willing to be screened for medical conditions
  • Have no known serious medical disability or family history of hereditary disorders
  • Know (or be able to find out) their immediate family medical history – children, siblings, parents and grandparents
  • Agree to be registered with the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) as a donor and be willing to be known to any child born following their donation
  • Not put themselves at risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
  • Not knowingly leave out any relevant information which could affect the health of any children born as a result of their donation
  • Receive implications counselling
  • Not receive payment for donating other than compensation for expenses (up to £35 per clinic visit)
  • Only donate to up to 10 families
