In the US there is increased pressure on sperm banks to make donor information available to donor conceived people, for example by creating a collaborative private registry between sperm banks.
[1] Without such initiative, it may lead to a government driven registry that sperm banks and clinics must report to.
In New Zealand the Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2004 established compulsory registration of donors and their offspring born from donations made after 22 August 2005.
Fertility clinics must inform the Registrar of Births Deaths and Marriages that a donor offspring has been born, and give the Registrar identifying details about the donor, offspring and clinic.
As in Austria, donor registration is a task for each region, in Sweden: county.
For instance: In the United Kingdom, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has a central register of people conceived using gamete donation after 1 August 1991.
People conceived using donations made after 1 April 2005 will have the right to know who their donor was when they turn 18.
[5] UK Donorlink was a Department of Health Funded voluntary register for people conceived before 1 August 1991 and for their donors.
