Cryos sperm donors either have a Basic Profile or an Extended Profile. A donor can only have one or the other. It is up to you whether you want a profile with little information or an extensive personal description of the donor. You can access all sperm donor profiles for free, Basic and Extended, in our Sperm Donor Search. If you want advice on choosing a sperm donor, follow the link to read our blog post on the subject.
A Basic Sperm Donor Profile
Sperm donors with a Basic Profile are registered with a number such as 456, 8756 or 11250. This type of sperm donor profile includes the following information about the sperm donor:
- Race
- Ethnicity
- Eye colour
- Hair colour
- Height
- Weight
- Blood type
- Education/profession
Why choose a donor with a Basic Profile?
Some people only want to know essential information such as eye colour and blood type, and do not have a desire to know any personal information about their sperm donor. If you prefer to know as little as possible about your donor, you should go with a Basic Profile.
An Extended Sperm Donor Profile
Sperm donors with an Extended Profile are registered under a fictitious name (also referred to as an alias) such as CARLOS, SOREN, or JARRED. This is not the real name of the donor.
The Extended Donor Profile contains the same information as the Basic Profile. Additionally, it contains a detailed description of the donor's personality and looks. This type of sperm donor profile includes the following information about the donor:
- Education and career
- Family background
- Personality
- Hobbies and interests
- Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Profile
- One or more pictures of the sperm donor as a child
- A handwritten message
- A voice recording

Why choose a donor with an Extended Profile?
By choosing the Extended Donor Profile you can have an idea about the kind of person your donor is. The Extended Donor Profile also includes a photo of the donor as a child, which may help you find a donor who looks like you or your partner as a child.
By choosing an Extended Profile, you get the opportunity to enrich the conversation you have with your child about his/her genetic origin.
Choosing a specific profile can be a difficult process. Therefore, we recommend that you read our blog post on 3 things to consider when choosing a Sperm Donor Profile. You can also read more about our sperm bank prices, by following the link.
