At Cryos you can choose between donors with a Basic Profile or an Extended Profile. Each donor will have one of these two profiles. It is up to you whether you want a profile with little information or an extensive personal description of the donor. All donor profiles, both Basic and Extended, can be accessed for free via the buttons below. If want inspiration regarding the choice of donor, follow the links to our guide on how to choose a sperm donor or how to choose an egg donor.
Basic Donor Profile
Cryos offers basic donor profiles for couples and individuals who are seeking a donor with only the most critical, limited information available about them. Donors with a Basic profile are registered with information that includes the following characteristics:
- Race
- Ethnicity
- Eye color
- Hair color
- Height
- Weight
- Blood type
- Profession/Education
A basic profile offers the anonymity that many people prefer when choosing a donor.

Extended Donor Profile
Many couples and individuals find it best to choose a donor who not only resembles their physical characteristics but often their interests as well. Cryos offers extended donor profiles to offer a wider glimpse into the lives of their potential future donor.
Donors with an Extended Donor Profile are registered with the Basic profile information plus additional details including background, physical characteristics, education, profession, personality, health and family history, photos, handwritten greeting, voice sample, staff impression, and EQ tests.
A staff impression is a brief subjective description of the donor written by a staff member from Cryos to give you more of an in-depth look at how the Cryos team understands the donor.

Additional sperm donor profile choices
At Cryos, we understand the importance of finding the perfect donor to help build your family. With a wide range of options to choose from, you can select the donor profile that meets your personal preferences and requirements. Other things to consider when choosing a donor profile include:
- ID Release or Non-ID Release Donors: Decide whether you want the donor's identity to be accessible to your child (ID Release) or keep the donor's identity confidential (Non-ID Release).
- Donor profiles with Adult Photos: Browse through profiles featuring adult photos of our donors. Through Adult Photos you can choose a donor with similar physical features as yourself or your partner.
- Donor Exclusivity: Purchase an Exclusive Donor to ensure their donations are used exclusively to create your family.
- Face Matching: Use our free Face Matching tool to find a donor that looks like a certain person (e.g., you or your partner).
- Genetic Matching: Reduce the risk of passing on genetic disorders to your child, by using our Genetic Matching service.
