New jurisdiction tool compares 2026 surrogacy laws across eight countries
The comparison table maps legality, parentage mechanism, cost bands and typical timelines side-by-side, updated for 2026 case law.
Immigrant Fertility has updated its jurisdiction comparison tool to reflect 2026 surrogacy law across eight key destinations, including recent case-law changes in Colombia and Mexico.
Why the update matters
Surrogacy law moves faster than statute. Two of the countries on the table are governed primarily by case law, which means a checklist from even two years ago can be dangerously out of date. The refreshed table flags where practice diverges from the written rule.
What each row covers
- Commercial, altruistic-only, restricted or prohibited status.
- Whether a parental or pre-birth order is required.
- Eligibility for single parents and same-sex couples.
- Typical cost bands and end-to-end timelines.
- Plain-language notes on the biggest legal risks.
The tool is free to browse. The matching exit-documents checklist — covering birth certificate, passport and immigration permission by country — is part of the premium Vault.
