Surrogacy in Iran

Surrogacy in Iran is one of the major trends in 2025 among patients who want to do infertility treatment. This procedure starts with a free consultation and making a contract between you and the clinic/agency and ends with parenthood!

It is essential for both intended parents and surrogates to know the whole process, their rights, and their responsibilities before starting the surrogacy process. Just like any other medical procedure, there are some risks involved, and they should all be well understood by both sides before signing the contracts.

With one of the particular surrogacy packages TebMedTourism offers, we can ensure that you become a parent. Until you feel what it’s like to be a parent, we are by your side, supported by our expertise and experience.

What is surrogacy?

To get acquainted with surrogacy in Iran, we must first know what surrogacy is. Surrogacy is the procedure of a woman carrying a child on behalf of a couple who are medically or physically incapable of becoming parents. A surrogate child’s intended parent or parents are the person or people who legally become the child’s parents.

There are two types of surrogacy:

• Traditional Surrogacy: This type of pregnancy involves artificial conception and involves a surrogate who shares genetics with the child. Although it was formerly common, host surrogacy is now employed in the majority of surrogacy partnerships.
• Host Surrogacy: In this type of surrogacy, IVF is done using donor eggs or the intended mother’s eggs. As a result, the surrogate mother is genetically unrelated to the child and does not utilize her own eggs.

In the host surrogacy process, eggs are collected from the donor, fertilized with sperm in a lab to create embryos, and then transferred to the surrogate’s womb either fresh or thawed, with hormone treatments used to synchronize or prepare the womb.

Surrogacy in iran

Many people who want to come to Iran for their surrogacy procedure in 2025 ask us this question: Is surrogacy allowed in Iran? In this topic we answer this question by analyzing details of this question to answer you properly.

It is important to note that surrogacy is still controversial in many parts of the world in 2025, and it is illegal in many countries, including European ones such as Germany and France. Both commercial and altruistic forms of surrogacy are allowed in Iran in 2025 for native and foreigner candidates.

This has caused many infertile couples to consider Iran as a great choice to undergo surrogacy and have a biological child. Iran is now considered one of the Best countries for surrogacy, thanks to its affordability, legality, and success rates

Once a couple confirms that they want to proceed with surrogacy, TebMedTourism starts the process by signing a legal contract in a notary that mentions all the financial and legal details of the process. Surrogate rights and responsibilities are also clear in the contract that she is required to sign.

By choosing TebMedTourism, you ensure a smooth experience without legal complications, which is especially important for international surrogacy arrangements.

That’s important to know; many other agencies in Iran cannot handle legal issues for their clients, and these clients come to TebMedTourism for solving their problems. You can see some of our surrogacy patient experiences at the end of this article.

Who is a candidate for a surrogate?

• Uterus absence in the acquired or congenital context: Some women are born without a uterus. However, some people have had their uterus removed due to conditions like cervical or uterine cancer.
• Uterine abnormalities and inappropriate structure: Congenital abnormalities in the uterus can sometimes prevent the fetus from implanting. Large fibroids that have formed during various procedures, severe adhesions, and infections can sometimes render the uterus unsuitable for conception.
• Frequent infertility treatment failure despite healthy fetuses: In certain situations, a couple may not conceive following multiple IVF and ICSI cycles, even if the fetuses are of high quality.

Which factors influence the success rate of a surrogacy procedure?

The age of the surrogate mother, her general health, the quality of the eggs or sperm used, and the experience of the fertility clinic and participating doctors are some of the variables that affect the surrogacy success rate.

The kind of surrogacy (gestational or traditional), the quantity of embryos transferred, and the fertility treatment strategy selected are other important variables that may affect the surrogacy success rate.

The process’s overall effectiveness may also be greatly impacted by the intending parents’ and surrogate’s emotional and psychological support.

Surrogacy Success Rate in Iran 2025

When surrogacy is chosen as the way of having a child, multiple medical evaluations are done on the future surrogate mother to make sure her physical condition is suitable for transferring the embryo. In addition, surrogates must have a history of at least one successful pregnancy.

Therefore, the surrogacy success rate in Iran by TebMedTourism is very high, around 90%, and by choosing the guarantee package, it will be 100%. By our latest update in 2025, some factors affecting the surrogacy success rate:

• The clinic equipment and the expertise of the physician who transfers the embryo
• The surrogate’s physical ability to carry a baby
• The age of the surrogate and biological parents
• The quality of the egg and sperm
• Quality of embryo

Advantages and Disadvantages of Surrogacy

Legal protection, emotional fulfillment, and the ability for infertile couples to have biological children are just a few advantages of surrogacy.

Risks of Surrogacy

Surrogacy in Iran and other parts of the world is associated with risks. When a couple or individual uses a gestational carrier, there are hazards involved. Here are a few of the most typical risks:

• Neither a successful pregnancy nor a full term is guaranteed.
• Risks that medical procedures and fertility treatments pose to the intended parents or carrier.
• Financial risk related to medical procedures, compensation, legalities, and IVF.
• The emotional risk of miscarriage and other illnesses or problems.
• Frustration about the pregnancy, the carrier, and other circumstances that are beyond their control.

The carrier is also exposed to risks. Regular prenatal care is required for the duration of their pregnancy. Pregnancy issues such as infections, diabetes, and high blood pressure are all concerns that carriers inherit.

It can be difficult, time-consuming, and emotionally taxing for the spouse or kids of the person carrying the pregnancy. They can still develop an attachment to the baby after delivery, even though the majority of carriers are delighted to assist a couple or individual in becoming parents.

Surrogacy for International Patients

Surrogacy for international patients involves individuals or couples traveling to Iran to engage in surrogacy arrangements—often because surrogacy is illegal, restricted, or too expensive in their home country. This is commonly called cross-border surrogacy or international surrogacy.

The process of surrogacy in Iran

• Medical Evaluation: The first step to performing surrogacy in Iran is a medical evaluation. To ascertain whether the non-Iranian surrogate or the Persian intended parents are capable of undergoing the procedure, a thorough medical evaluation will be conducted. Included in this are medical examinations designed to give crucial information about the surrogate’s or fetus’s health.
• Legal Agreement: A legal agreement between the surrogate mother and the intended parents should also be signed. The intended parents and surrogate make all decisions regarding the surrogacy process through this agreement, which lays out the terms of surrogacy, including who is involved and their responsibilities, the payment schedule, and the intended parents’ rights regarding the child.
• Fertility Treatment: Test-tube fertilization (IVF) is used in the fertility treatment procedure to create embryos. The IVF technique uses the sperm and eggs of the man to create each embryo. Following that, these surrogates and the embryos are moved to the surrogate’s mother’s uterus for implantation and pregnancy.
• Pregnancy and Delivery: The surrogate mother is supposed to carry the pregnancy all the way to the child’s delivery and termination. In addition to being present during the delivery, the surrogate’s paying parents decide whether to adopt the kid once it is born.
• Legal Documentation: Following delivery, the intended parents should present the legal documents that confer the child’s rights as the minor’s biological parents. The creation of a birth certificate bearing the names of the intended parents and potential collaboration with the embassy or consulate—which will need the child’s travel documents—are confirmed by this.

The intended parents only need to stay in Iran for 21 days for IVF and egg donation, or fewer than seven days if no operations are needed. The process is simple and fast in Iran.

Information on Surrogacy Contracts

A surrogacy contract is a legally binding document that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and expectations of everyone involved in a surrogacy arrangement—typically the intended parents and the surrogate (gestational carrier).

Key elements in a surrogate contract for surrogacy in Iran and other countries include the following:

• Parties and Intent

Full identification of the intended parents and surrogate, a statement that all parties are entering the agreement voluntarily, and intent to establish the intended parents as the child’s legal parents.

• Medical Procedures

Details about embryo transfer, number of embryos, and fertility treatments; agreement about prenatal care, testing, and delivery plans; and restrictions (if any) on lifestyle (e.g., smoking, alcohol, and medications).

• Financial Terms

Compensation to the surrogate (if allowed by law), coverage for medical expenses, insurance, maternity clothing, travel, etc., and payment schedule and reimbursement procedures.

• Parental Rights

Clarification that the surrogate has no parental rights to the child, and the procedure for establishing the intended parents’ legal parentage (pre- or post-birth orders).

• Contingencies

What happens in case of miscarriage, multiple pregnancies, or fetal abnormalities? Decisions around selective reduction or termination must align with local law.

• Confidentiality & Communication

Agreement on how much contact is expected during and after pregnancy, and confidentiality about medical and personal information.

• Legal Jurisdiction

Which country’s laws apply (important since surrogacy laws vary widely)? Requirement that all parties have independent legal counsel.

Document Required for Foreign Nationals Pursuing Surrogacy

A number of formal documents must be submitted by foreign couples in order to confirm their identification, marital status, and health before the surrogacy procedure may start. They usually consist of:

• Both partners’ valid passports
• An official marriage license (legalized and translated into Persian)
• Test results proving infertility or the requirement for surrogacy
• Signatures on consent paperwork from both intending parents
• ID and passport-sized photographs for legal documents

Depending on the couple’s nationality, certain clinics could also ask for extra embassy or legal attestations. With the right planning and expert legal assistance, these documents may be completed swiftly, enabling couples to start their surrogacy journey in Iran with ease and assurance.

Surrogacy in Iran is performed at a reasonable price using the latest technologies and under the supervision of the best specialists. You should know that when we talk about having the cheapest surrogacy costs, it does not mean the low quality of the services. Today, the value of Iran’s currency is at its lowest.

Regardless of the low cost of services, Iran has the latest technologies in the field of fertility treatment and the top gynecologists and embryologists, which turned Iran into the best country for surrogacy in the Middle East and one of the top destinations in the world in 2025.
