The legal framework for surrogacy in the Republic of Armenia was established in 2002. Key aspects of this activity, including the rights and responsibilities of the surrogate mother, as well as the criteria established for her, are regulated by the Law "On Human Reproductive Health and Reproductive Rights."
The legal regulation of surrogacy in Armenia is characterized by clarity and transparency, creating a predictable and comfortable environment for prospective parents. Current legislation recognizes the intended parents as the child’s legal parents from the moment of birth, eliminating complex legal procedures. This legal regime avoids lengthy court proceedings and the need for additional court decisions, making Armenia a predictable jurisdiction for implementing surrogacy programs.
