Join the Registry from Home
For those that are unable to attend bone marrow registration drives locally, the National Marrow Donor Program provides an online process that ships a marrow processing kit to your home.

The NMDP requests that prospective donors who choose to order kits follow the following three steps:
- Confirm that you meet the basic registry guidelines.
- Complete the online form and registration kit. This will require registering an account at marrow.org. Please also consider making a financial donation to help offset some of the costs associated with kit processing.
- After obtaining the swab kit in the mail, follow the instructions in your kit to collect a swab of cheek cells and return the kit.
When ordering a swab kit from the NMDP, it will come automatically barcoded to comply with your online registration form. Please complete and return the kits in a timely manner. Many people who order kits through the mail never complete them, resulting in unnecessary supply/administrative/logistics costs for the NMDP.
