Surrogacy in Armenia

Surrogacy in Armenia

Surrogacy in Armenia offers a robust legal framework, ensuring that the rights and responsibilities of all parties are clearly defined. Since 2002, surrogacy has been legally recognized under the “Law on Human Reproductive Health and Reproductive Rights.” Once the child is born, the intended parents are automatically recognized as the legal parents, and the surrogate has no claims to parental rights or responsibilities.

Who can undergo a surrogacy journey in Armenia?

  • Heterosexual couples

  • Single men

    • IP should submit proof of single marital status.

  • Single women

    • Specifically for women interested in using their own eggs to create an embryo(s).

    • IPs should submit a notarized letter from a reproductive endocrinologist confirming their inability to carry a child, along with proof of single marital status.

The Surrogates

All surrogates are carefully selected from neighbouring countries, as Armenian nationals are not an option for foreign intended parents. These surrogates undergo a thorough screening process, including extended medical evaluations, and must have had at least one healthy child from a successful pregnancy.


During the initial stages of pregnancy, surrogates continue their daily routines at home. By the 23rd week of pregnancy, they relocate to Yerevan, Armenia, to ensure close monitoring by our partner clinic until the baby’s birth.


All Surrogates undergo routine pregnancy tests and periodic blood tests to ensure optimal health.


Generous compensation allows surrogates to secure a brighter future for their families while providing invaluable support to intended parents.

Erase last sentence and instead – The support granted to the surrogates throughout the journey enables them to build a more secure future for themselves, their children, and their families.

Surrogacy in Armenia: What You Should Know Before You Begin

Why surrogacy in Armenia?
Armenia pairs a clear legal framework in place since 2002, under the Law on Human Reproductive Health and Reproductive Rights with a medical process built to keep screening, fertilization, pregnancy monitoring, and delivery coordinated within a single medical network. Whether you already have embryos, need to create them, or require an egg donor, the program’s flexible structures including a guarantee-based option with unlimited attempts until a live birth, subject to eligibility and your agreement are built to fit your situation. Throughout, our team coordinates the medical, legal, and logistical pieces on your behalf, so you’re not managing separate relationships on your own.

Who is the Armenia program for?
The Armenia program may be suitable for you if you are a heterosexual married couple, a single man, or a single woman who wishes to use your own eggs and can provide medical documentation confirming you are not recommended to carry a pregnancy. You may already have embryos, plan to create embryos using your own eggs and sperm or need an egg donor.
Eligibility and documentation are reviewed individually. Your relationship status, medical circumstances, available embryos or gametes, nationality, and the requirements of your chosen plan may all affect the pathway available to you. Intended parents are generally expected to be 55 or younger. If you’re exploring surrogacy and wondering whether this path is right for you, the best first step is a conversation with our team.

The Main Benefits of Surrogacy in Armenia

Legal Guidance and Post-Birth Support

You are guided through the relevant agreements, birth registration, documentation, travel requirements, and parentage-related procedures that apply to your case.

Structured Medical and IVF Care

Your treatment is carried out by qualified independent medical professionals and may include IVF, embryo creation, genetic testing when appropriate, embryo transfer, pregnancy monitoring, and delivery care.

Screened Surrogates and Egg Donors

Surrogates and egg donors complete the screening required by the program before being approved, and you receive the relevant information available to support your decisions.

A Pathway for Different Family Structures

The program may offer options if you are a same-sex male couple, a single man, already have embryos, require donor eggs, or may be eligible to use your own eggs.

Important Information About the Armenia Program

Medical Care and IVF

If you need to create embryos, your pathway may include medical testing, sperm and egg preparation, egg-donor selection when required, IVF, embryo development, genetic testing when applicable, and embryo cryopreservation. If you already have embryos, their records and suitability for shipment and transfer are reviewed before the next steps are planned. During pregnancy, the surrogate follows a structured prenatal protocol, with relevant ultrasound and laboratory reports translated and shared with you. Medical decisions and procedures are carried out by the independent professionals responsible for treatment and care.

Surrogates

Before you are introduced to a potential surrogate, she must have experienced at least one healthy pregnancy and birth and complete the required medical and psychological screening. Surrogates working with the Armenia program are generally not Armenian nationals and typically relocate to Armenia later in pregnancy, ahead of delivery. Once a potential match is available, you receive the information provided through the program and are guided through the next steps. Throughout the pregnancy, she follows a defined monitoring schedule and receives support from the professionals responsible for her care. Communication is facilitated through the program so that you can build a respectful connection while both you and the surrogate remain supported.

Egg Donors

If you need an egg donor, you receive profiles containing available medical, genetic, personal, and reproductive background information. Donors are generally based in Ukraine, Georgia, and Armenia, and donation is anonymous. Donors complete the screening required by the program before being approved. The donation pathway is structured without a personal or ongoing relationship between the donor and intended parents. Our team helps you understand the information available and coordinates the selection and confirmation process with the relevant medical professionals.

Legal Process

Pregnancies are carefully managed by GGRC Clinic in accordance with strict medical protocols. These include frequent ultrasounds, nuchal translucency screening (when required), maternal serum screening, detailed anatomy scans, glucose tolerance testing, and amniocentesis when medically indicated.

Legal Support

Armenia has a specific legal framework governing surrogacy, under which intended parents can be registered as the child’s legal parents following birth, subject to completing the required documentation and legal process. Your legal journey may include proof of marriage or single status, agreements, birth registration, the birth certificate, and the documents needed for your baby’s citizenship, exit, and travel. Requirements in your home country are separate from Armenian law and may require guidance from an immigration or family-law professional there. Our team coordinates the local process and helps you understand which steps need to happen and when.

Surrogacy for HIV+ Intended Parents

Tammuz works with intended parents living with HIV who wish to pursue the Armenia program. Depending on medical review, this generally involves additional pre-treatment testing and a sperm-washing procedure, performed or approved by the clinic before the sample is used. As with every aspect of the program, acceptance and the specific steps required depend on medical review, clinic protocols, and your individual circumstances.

How Much Does Surrogacy in Armenia Cost?

During your consultation, we'll explain your options, what's included, and the expected costs so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
