The text states that, where a woman does not have a uterus, an embryo created with the couple's or donor gametes may be transferred to another woman, and the couple's written consent is mandatory. Whether a patient's facts meet the current medical and procedural requirements should be confirmed in writing by the Georgian clinic and local counsel.
If a child is born and the statutory conditions and registration documents are met, the couple is deemed the parents under Georgian law; the donor or gestational carrier has no right to be recognised as a parent. This is not unconditional automatic registration and does not itself resolve recognition of parentage, citizenship, passports or travel documents in the intended parents' home country.
Article 143 does not expressly establish a separate category of “commercial surrogacy.” Fees, compensation and contract terms require item-by-item review under current Georgian law and the facts of the case.
Order No. 598 amended the birth-registration rules so that the agreement party is a woman-man couple. They may have been married for at least one year or may document at least one year of actual cohabitation. A claim that Georgia is available only to married couples is therefore inaccurate.
| Intended-parent situation | Current reading | What must be confirmed before payment or transfer |
|---|---|---|
| Woman-man couple married for at least one year | Can meet the relationship-form requirement | Article 143 medical condition, notarised agreement, medical records and birth-registration documents |
| Woman-man couple with at least one year of actual cohabitation | Can use documentary evidence of the relationship | Whether the registration authority accepts the evidence, plus all medical and agreement documents |
| Single person or same-sex couple | Does not fit the woman-man agreement-party structure in Order No. 598 | Do not pay based on an agency's oral assurance; obtain independent advice on other lawful pathways |
| Foreign woman-man couple | The enacted texts reviewed for this guide do not state a nationality bar | Written pre-clearance from local counsel, the clinic and the birth-registration authority is essential |
Cross-border parentage and documents depend on more than one legal system and on actual administrative review. An agency's oral statement that registration or return is “guaranteed” is not a substitute for written advice from the relevant authorities and independent counsel.

They are not government tariffs, do not constitute a quotation, and do not establish that a payment is lawful in a particular case.

| Budget item | Non-official reference range (CNY) | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| IVF, retrieval and embryo culture | 20,000–40,000 | Medication, ICSI, blastocyst culture, freezing and storage exclusions |
| PGT-A, if selected for the case | 20,000–40,000 | Biopsy, testing, no-result cases and retesting |
| Carrier-related contractual and medical support | 80,000–150,000 | Legal character of payments, permitted scope, pregnancy care and complications |
| Legal, notarial and translation work | 20,000–40,000 | Pre-transfer agreement, relationship evidence and birth-registration documents |
| Coordination and management | 50,000–100,000 | Service scope, third-party payments, exit and refund terms |
| Birth and cross-border documents | 10,000–30,000 | Registration, authentication, translations, DNA and travel documents |
| Overall market planning reference | 300,000–500,000 | Non-official snapshot; no success guarantee. Donor eggs, repeat cycles, complications and complex documents can change the total |
Georgia has an enacted statutory framework, but eligibility, medical indications, the agreement, payments, birth registration and home-country documents must be assessed separately. The safest decision gate is consistent written confirmation from Georgian counsel, the clinic, the birth-registration authority and a qualified home-country adviser before any substantial payment or embryo transfer.
