UPDATE: From 1st April 2005, all donors registering
with UK clinics will be identifiable to people
conceived using their gametes when these people
reach the age of 18. These donor-conceived people
may apply to the HFEA to receive the following
identifying information about their donors:
1. The donor's name (and name at birth, if different)
and address
2. The donor's date of birth and the town or
district of birth
3. The appearance of the donor.
This information will only be given out by the
HFEA to a child born as a result of the donation
after the child's 18th birthday and only upon
request made by the child. The recipients will
receive only non-identifying information about
the donor at the time of treatment.
