Tbilisi, GeorgiaEligibility should be reviewed before treatment decisions are made. Our current Georgia programme pathway is designed for heterosexual intended-parent couples who can document their relationship and complete the required medical and legal assessment.
Who may enter our Georgia programme
For our current intake pathway, intended parents must be a heterosexual couple and provide evidence that they have been legally married for at least one year or can officially document at least one year of cohabitation. Every case is reviewed individually because nationality, civil status and document format may affect the file.
Documents required before embryo transfer
The original marriage certificate or an officially issued cohabitation document is required for the embryo-transfer stage. Supporting documents may need translation, notarisation, legalisation or Apostille depending on where they were issued.
- Passports and contact details for both intended parents
- Original relationship-status document
- Medical records and infectious-disease screening
- Biological-material and embryo records, where applicable
- Consents and programme agreements prepared for the case
What Georgian law establishes
Article 143 of the Law of Georgia on Health Care permits in vitro fertilisation in the circumstances stated there, requires the couple’s written consent for a surrogate pathway, and provides that the couple are deemed the parents if a child is born. The surrogate mother or donor does not have the right to be recognised as a parent.
Why early legal review matters
The clinic, notary and civil-registration files must tell the same story. We review names, dates, civil-status evidence, biological-material records and intended-parent citizenship before critical programme stages.
Planning without unnecessary delay
Couples can normally begin consultation, medical-record review and programme planning while civil documents are being prepared. Final eligibility and document acceptance must be confirmed before treatment milestones that depend on them.
Important legal notice
This page describes our current programme process and general information, not individual legal advice. Georgian requirements and home-country citizenship or passport rules should be reviewed for the intended parents’ specific circumstances before signing or treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to be legally married?
Our current programme accepts heterosexual couples who have been married for at least one year or who can officially document at least one year of cohabitation, subject to individual review.
Must the original certificate be available immediately?
Not usually for the first consultation. It must be accepted and available for the relevant embryo-transfer documentation stage.
Can single intended parents use the Georgia programme?
Our Georgia programme is presented for eligible heterosexual couples. Contact the team for a confidential assessment of other possible pathways without assuming that Georgia is suitable.
Does Georgian eligibility guarantee recognition at home?
No. Parentage, citizenship, passport and entry requirements are governed by the relevant authorities and should be reviewed separately.
