Visa & Passport Guidance for International Surrogacy Parents

For many international intended parents, the joy of surrogacy comes with one big worry: “How do we get our baby home?”

From visas and citizenship to travel documents, Surrogacy4All takes care of every legal and logistical step – so your baby’s first flight is safe, legal, and stress-free.

Before the Birth – Planning Ahead

The process begins prior to embryo transfer.

Our legal team:

• Verifies your home country’s acceptance of surrogacy births.
• Prepares embassy contact and documentation necessary.
• Files parental declarations for citizenship applications.

Tip: We encourage parents to apply for “anticipated birth travel status” two months before the due date.

After Birth – Documentation Steps

• Hospital Birth Certificate Issued
• Parentage Order Filed (if necessary)
• Embassy Submission
• DNA Confirmation (for genetic connection)
• Passport or Travel Permit Issued

Average turnaround:

• USA: 7–14 days
• Canada: 10–21 days

Citizenship Pathways

Country Type	Process	Timeframe

Canada-born babies	Automatic Canadian citizenship	Immediate
Other nations (India, Spain, Israel, UK)	Citizenship by descent	2–26 weeks
