What the public record says

South Africa's GC role is altruistic, court-confirmed, and domestic rather than an open international matching market. The surrogate ordinarily must be domiciled in South Africa, suitable and competent, not use surrogacy as income, have a documented prior viable delivery and a living child, obtain ordinary partner participation or a court-accepted section 293(3) exception, complete medical and psychological evidence, and retain healthcare decision authority. Only the section 301 expense, lost-income, insurance, and professional-service categories are modeled as payable.

Published journey focus

  • domicile and partner-participation screen
  • prior viable delivery and living child
  • altruistic matching and no compensated advertising
  • medical psychological and consent evidence
  • court-confirmed agreement and pregnancy autonomy
  • lawful expenses handover and civil records
