Georgia’s Legal Framework for Surrogacy (as of 2025)
Georgia permits both commercial and altruistic surrogacy. The current legal environment provides stability and protection for all parties involved in the surrogacy process. Intended parents benefit from straightforward procedures and full legal recognition at birth.
Who Is Eligible for Surrogacy in Georgia?
Eligibility criteria include:
-
Married heterosexual couples
-
Heterosexual couples cohabiting for at least one year
-
Proof of medical necessity (e.g., infertility or inability to carry a pregnancy)
Same-sex couples and single individuals are not eligible under current legislation.
Legal Parental Rights: Protection from Birth
Georgia’s law ensures intended parents are listed on the birth certificate immediately after delivery. The surrogate has no legal parental claim over the child. This legal clarity makes Georgia one of the most secure countries for intended parents pursuing surrogacy.
Donor and Surrogacy Regulations
Key legal provisions:
-
Surrogates are not permitted to use their own eggs.
-
Egg and sperm donation is allowed through authorized programs.
-
All donors and surrogates must undergo medical and psychological screening to ensure a safe and ethical process.
International Surrogacy: What Foreign Parents Need to Know
For international couples:
-
Georgia allows surrogacy, but your home country must grant citizenship to the baby.
-
After birth, consular and passport procedures are required before travel.
Our center provides full legal and consular assistance to simplify this process.Note: In 2023, a draft law proposed banning commercial surrogacy for foreigners, but as of 2025, it has not been passed. Surrogacy for international couples remains legal.
