Declaring the birth of a child born from a surrogate pregnancy

The processing of a declaration of birth of a child born as a result of a surrogate pregnancy that began on or after March 6, 2024, allows the declaration of the filiation of the intended parents to be made directly to the Directeur de l’état civil (legal route).

To this end, the following two conditions must be met:

• the surrogate mother has consented after the birth to the establishment of a filiation in favour of the intended parents;
• a surrogacy agreement has been signed between the parties concerned.
