Under FDA guidelines, plasma donation centers must require donors to provide proof of a permanent residential address where they can be contacted for follow-up for at least 8 weeks after their donation. Homeless shelters, hotels, missionaries, recovery facilities, and Airbnbs are considered temporary residences and do not meet this requirement. This regulation is part of the broader framework to ensure the safety and traceability of blood and plasma donations. PO Boxes can be used as a secondary mailing address but must accompany proof of residence.
