Armenia has become an increasingly attractive destination for international surrogacy thanks to its modern legislation, experienced fertility clinics, and transparent legal framework.
Surrogacy and assisted reproductive technologies are regulated by the Law of the Republic of Armenia No. ZR-474 “On Human Reproductive Health and Reproductive Rights”, adopted on 11 December 2002, and amended several times, most recently in December 2025. The law expressly recognizes surrogacy as one of the assisted reproductive technologies available in Armenia.
Surrogacy Is Fully Legal in Armenia
Article 2 of the law defines surrogacy as one of the assisted reproductive technologies alongside IVF, embryo transfer, cryopreservation, and egg and embryo donation. This provides a clear legal basis for surrogacy programs in Armenia.
Following the legislative amendments adopted in 2025, Armenia allows surrogacy for:
* Married heterosexual couples;
* Single women;
* Single men who meet the legal requirements, generally where a genetic link with the child exists.
Birth Certificate Issued Directly to the Intended Parents
One of the major advantages of Armenia is that the surrogate mother is not recognized as the child’s legal mother.
Because surrogacy is legal, the Armenian birth certificate is issued directly in the name(s) of the intended parent(s) in accordance with Armenian law. The surrogate mother’s name does not appear on the birth certificate, and she has no parental rights over the child. This avoids the need for adoption or post-birth court proceedings in Armenia.
Egg Donation in Armenia
Armenian law also permits anonymous egg donation as part of assisted reproductive treatment. Egg donors must undergo comprehensive medical screening before acceptance into a donation program.
At TatSurrogacy, we can offer carefully selected:
* 🇦🇲 Armenian egg donors
* 🇬🇪 Georgian egg donors
* 🇺🇦 Ukrainian egg donors
* 🇷🇺 Russian egg donors
Each donor completes extensive medical screening.
Surrogate Mothers
Although surrogacy is legal in Armenia, Armenian citizens are generally not used as surrogate mothers in international programs because of the current legal restrictions applicable to Armenian surrogates in cross-border arrangements.
For this reason, TatSurrogacy works with experienced surrogate mothers from several neighboring countries, including:
* 🇬🇪 Georgia
* 🇺🇦 Ukraine
* 🇷🇺 Russia
* 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan
* 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan
* and other countries in the region.
Thanks to our extensive international database, we are usually able to match intended parents with a suitable surrogate within up to 6 months after receiving the PGT-A results. This timeframe may vary depending on the specific criteria of the intended parents and the availability of matching candidates.
Donor, Surrogate and Intended Parent Requirements
Our programs comply with Armenian legislation and strict medical standards.
Egg donors
* Comprehensive medical examination
* Genetic screening
* Psychological assessment
* Anonymous donation in accordance with Armenian law
Surrogate mothers
* Proven reproductive history
* Excellent physical and psychological health
* Comprehensive infectious disease screening
* Independent legal counselling before signing the agreement
Intended parents
Armenian law permits access to assisted reproductive technologies for eligible intended parents. Since the amendments adopted in December 2025, the previous statutory age limits have been removed. Eligibility is now determined primarily by the treating fertility clinic based on medical assessment rather than by a maximum legal age.
