Surrogacy in Mexico

Latin America’s Most Popular Option

Mexico provides proximity, affordability, and cultural warmth — but legal variability by state.

Surrogacy4All’s physician-led quality control guarantees programs adhere to medical and ethical standards.

Legal Framework

Surrogacy is legal at the state level:

  • Tabasco & Sinaloa: Legal for married heterosexual couples.
  • Mexico City & Quintana Roo: Accepted but not formally regulated.
  • Other states: Restricted

Surrogacy in Mexico operates under state-level laws, meaning the rules can differ depending on where the journey takes place. Some states like Tabasco and Sinaloa provide a clearly defined legal pathway for married heterosexual couples. Meanwhile, regions such as Mexico City and Quintana Roo allow surrogacy in practice but do not yet have full regulatory structures in place. In other areas, access is limited, making proper legal guidance essential.

To protect intended parents and surrogates, our legal professionals manage every step—drafting notarized agreements, coordinating court approvals when needed, and ensuring newborns are eligible for U.S. citizenship and travel home without complications.
