<h1>Can my child get in touch with the sperm donor in the future?</h1>
If you have chosen an <a title="Read more about ID Release Sperm Donors here" href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/how-to/how-to-choose-a-sperm-donor/id-release-or-non-id-release-sperm-donors/">ID Release Sperm Donor</a>, your child can, when he/she turns 18, receive identifying information about the donor. If you have chosen a <a title="Read more about Non-ID Release Sperm Donors here" href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/how-to/how-to-choose-a-sperm-donor/id-release-or-non-id-release-sperm-donors/">Non-ID Release Sperm Donor</a>, neither you nor your child can receive any information other than what is specified in the donor&rsquo;s profile on our website.
When you have registered a pregnancy, you can receive a Donor Child Certificate from Cryos. To do so, please contact our <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/about-us/contact-cryos/">Customer Care</a>.
If the donor is an ID Release Donor, your child can, when he/she turns 18, contact Cryos, present the Donor Child Certificate, and receive this identifying information, that he/she can use to try to <a title="Getting in contact with the sperm donor" href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/for-parents/getting-in-contact-with-the-sperm-donor/">contact the donor</a>. The identifying information is the sperm donor's full name and date of birth and his latest address provided to Cryos by the donor himself. Be aware, that although the donor has agreed to be contacted, Cryos cannot guarantee or check whether the sperm donor has changed his mind or whether he is contactable when the <a title="Read more about the donor-conceived child here" href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/blog/donor-conceived-children-everything-you-need-to-know/">donor-conceived child</a> reaches the age of 18.
If you have further questions, please contact&nbsp;<a title="Contact Cryos" href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/about-us/contact-cryos/" data-id="2582">Customer Care</a>.
