    A few days after you complete the online registration you will receive a set from us containing:

    1. the printed questionnaire. Check your information again and confirm with your signature your intention to register. 
    2. a cotton swab set that you can easily do yourself.  An instructional video will show you how. 

    After returning the questionnaire and cotton swab set to us, you will receive your donor ID card.  In order to contact you in case of a donation request, it is important that you inform us of any change of address.
