I did this a few years ago because a family member needed a bone marrow transplant. In my city our local blood donor center is Blood Assurance. They took blood samples from me and added my name to the Bone Marrow Donors Registry.
Here's the National Marrow Donor Program's website.

There are sites for all countries too. If you don't live in the US, Google it.

Step 1. Confirm you meet basic donor guidelines.
Step 2. Complete the online registration form and order your tissue-typing kit for $52. This step will take about 30 minutes. You'll need a credit card to cover tissue-typing costs.
Step 3. Use the kit to give a swab of cheek cells to test for your tissue type.
