By Laura Seco, Clinical Embryologist & Registered Dietitian

At-home insemination is fully legal in North Dakota and offers significant advantages for families in Fargo, Bismarck, and the many small communities between them.
Is At-Home Insemination Legal in North Dakota?
Yes — at-home insemination is legal in North Dakota. No state law requires insemination to occur in a clinical setting. You may perform self-insemination at home using sperm from a licensed cryobank or a known donor.
Donor Sperm Laws in North Dakota
North Dakota Century Code § 14-20-63 and the North Dakota Uniform Parentage Act address sperm donation. A sperm donor who donates through a licensed physician is not the legal parent of the resulting child.

A written donor agreement reviewed by a North Dakota family law attorney is recommended for any known-donor arrangement.
