Why Choose Czech Republic for Surrogacy
Laws and Eligibility in Czech Republic
Surrogacy in the Czech Republic is not explicitly regulated by statute. Draft bills introduced in 2024-2025 aim to regulate the surrogacy process. According to Czech law, only gestational surrogacy is allowed — the surrogate carries an embryo created by IVF using either the intended mother’s eggs or donor eggs.
Under the Czech Civil Code, the woman who gave birth is the legal mother of the child, while the Intended Father can be recognized as a legal father of the child if he has given consent for the assisted reproductive technologies. The intended parents often need to use adoption to obtain full parental rights. Our team works with Czech legislation and your home country’s requirements to ensure parental recognition through proven legal mechanisms.
Official marriage certificate is not required. This is the most straightforward legal pathway in the Czech Republic, as programs operate through international legal coordination recognizing traditional family structures. Both partners can establish parental rights through our proven legal framework.
Unlike some destinations, Czech Republic programs may require medical proof of infertility.
In the Czech Republic, only altruistic surrogacy is permitted. The surrogate mother carries the child without financial gain and may be reimbursed for reasonable medical or living expenses.
All agreements are drafted by our experienced international lawyers, notarized, and structured to protect your parental rights. Birth certificate initially lists surrogate, then legal parenthood is transferred through mechanisms coordinated with your home country law.
