Surrogacy in Cyprus: A Legal & Human Perspective
Surrogacy offers a path to parenthood for individuals and couples who are medically unable to carry a child. In Cyprus, this path is carefully regulated under Law 69(I)/2015 on Medically Assisted Reproduction, with one guiding principle at its core: the best interests of the child.
The law sets strict requirements for who may pursue surrogacy, who may act as a surrogate, and how the process must unfold — from medical and psychiatric assessments, to approvals by the Council of Medically Assisted Reproduction and the Court, to the ex*****on of a detailed written surrogacy agreement. Commercial surrogacy is strictly prohibited, reflecting Cyprus’ commitment to ethical, non-exploitative practices.
While surrogacy can be a deeply meaningful solution, it is also a legally and emotionally complex process, raising important questions around legal parenthood, consent, and the rights and obligations of all parties involved. Proper legal guidance is therefore essential from the very first stage.
