Act no. 373/2011 Sb., regarding Specific Care Services, states that reproductive cells must be donated by an anonymous male/female for fertility treatment.

A clinic authorized to offer methods and procedures in assisted reproduction, is obligated to ensure the maintenance of mutual anonymity between a donor and an infertile couple and between a donor and a child born thanks to the assisted reproduction treatment. A clinic that has performed health eligibility in an anonymous donor is obligated to store the data about the health condition of the donor for the period of 30 years since the fertility treatment. The clinic is obligated to issue information about donor health condition to an infertile couple or a person in legally full age born based on assisted reproduction treatment while following the anonymity principle.

Donation is thus fully anonymous in the Czech Republic whereby the Law simultaneously sets criteria for all potential donors. Unica’s internal rules for donor selection are however considerably stricter compared to those set by the Law – Unica only allows women aged between 18 to 33 years of age (they are typically university students - for more information, see question “Who is an egg donor at Unica clinic”) compared to 35 years old which is the upper age limit set by Czech law.
