What the public record says

UK intended parents need a post-birth parental-order or adoption analysis whether the birth is domestic or overseas. For an England and Wales domestic route, the surrogate remains the legal mother at birth, agreements are not enforceable, at least one applicant needs the required genetic link and UK domicile, and payments, consent, timing, child residence, nationality, and registration remain review-limited.

Published journey focus

  • domicile and genetic-link screen
  • England and Wales or overseas pathway selection
  • non-commercial agreement and expenses
  • legal parenthood at birth
  • British nationality and passport
  • parental order or adoption fallback
