What you'll need

Before your first Grifols Plasma visit.

  1. Bring the right documents and eat first

    Plan on about two hours for your first visit, which includes a health screening. Bring a valid photo ID, proof of your Social Security number, and proof of a local address such as a lease or a utility bill from the last 60 days. You must be at least 18 and weigh at least 110 pounds. Eat a meal with protein and drink plenty of water beforehand.

  2. Have a bank account or debit card ready

    Platforms pay by direct deposit or to a debit card, and faster cash-out options usually need a debit card. Check the app's payout terms before your first cash-out, since instant transfers can carry a fee.
