Discover the Process

At Surrogate Mexico, our process is designed to provide you with clarity, security, and confidence at every step of your journey to your baby. Below is an overview of each stage of the process:

Our Process Step-by-step

1. Initial Consultation

  • Everything begins with a personalized consultation where we listen to your needs and expectations.
  • We provide a detailed explanation of the available programs and associated costs.
  • We address all your questions before you decide to move forward, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident.
  • You will receive a list of required documents for the next steps.

3. Financing and Wait Period

Once your escrow account is funded with the first payment, the preparation period begins. This escrow, administered by a banking institution, is one of the greatest safeguards in the process: it gives the intended parent complete transparency over how and when their resources are used and ensures that the surrogate and baby are always financially protected.
Unlike other agencies that operate without this mechanism, Surrogate Mexico offers safe, ethical, and professional management of all funds involved.

Estimated time: You will need to wait about two months before starting the first embryo transfer while our medical team and the surrogate complete all necessary preparations.

4. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Our team of assisted reproduction specialists will perform the IVF process, including:

  • Creating embryos using selected eggs and sperm.
  • Conducting advanced genetic testing to ensure embryo quality.
  • Transferring the embryo to the surrogate under strict medical protocols.

5. Pregnancy and Medical Follow-Up

During the pregnancy, we provide comprehensive medical care to ensure the health of both the surrogate and the baby:

  • Prenatal care: Access to top-tier obstetric care and high-level hospitals
  • Emotional support: Ongoing psychological counseling for the surrogate and intended parents.
  • Frequent updates: Regular information on the baby’s development and the surrogate’s well-being.

6. The Birth: Your Baby, with Everything Ready to Welcome Them

At Surrogate Mexico, we coordinate every detail of your baby’s delivery in advance to guarantee a safe, emotionally supportive, and legally clear experience.

Specialized medical care and comprehensive logistics

  • A top-tier hospital with neonatal units—such as Hospital Ángeles or Hospital ABC—is selected.
  • Medical supervision during labor is provided by obstetrics and neonatology specialists.
  • Postnatal care for the surrogate safeguards her physical, emotional, and medical well-being.

Legal and documentary support

  • Before delivery, the legal team and your concierge launch the amparo strategy to obtain a court order of filiation that legally recognizes you as the baby’s parent.
  • This ruling allows the baby to be registered in your name, without the surrogate’s name appearing on the birth certificate.

Centralized and secure communication

  • Throughout this stage, all communication with the surrogate flows exclusively through the concierge, ensuring respect, emotional support, and clarity for both parties.

Mexican civil registry and official documents

  • Two to four weeks after birth, the baby’s Mexican birth certificate is issued in the intended parents’ names.
  • With this certificate, either a Mexican passport or the appropriate consular process is initiated, depending on the country of origin.
Personalized consular support Your concierge and the legal team guide you step by step in obtaining the documents needed to return home. Depending on your country, this may include:
  • Applying for a Mexican passport through the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE): https://www.gob.mx/sre
  • Beginning consular procedures for the baby’s foreign nationality
Assistance with in-person or virtual appointments at embassies or consulates. See the official embassy directory here.

7. Documentation and Returning Home

Once the court ruling is issued, the baby is formally registered with the Mexican Civil Registry. This birth certificate is the foundational document for requesting foreign citizenship.

There are two pathways:

Countries that accept the Mexican birth certificate as valid to recognize the baby as a citizen of the parents, with or without genetic testing.
Common requirements:
• Executed surrogacy contract
• Mexican birth certificate
• Medical reports on pregnancy and delivery
Examples: United States (sometimes requiring DNA testing), Canada, Australia, Israel.

 In countries where surrogacy is not directly recognized or a genetic link is mandated, the process includes:
• Applying for a Mexican passport for the baby
• Traveling to your country with the baby on a tourist visa
• Initiating a filiation proceeding with support from a local attorney

Examples: Spain (currently does not permit immediate embassy registration), France, Germany, certain U.S. states.

Estimated time: proceedings can take four weeks to several months, depending on the country.

The nationality of a baby born through surrogacy in Mexico depends on the legal framework of the intended parents’ country. In general, the process is divided into two main stages:

Final Considerations

  • Each country has different regulations, so it is advisable to consult an immigration and nationality attorney before starting the process.
  • Surrogate Mexico provides legal guidance to assist intended parents throughout the consular process.
  • To avoid delays, it is recommended to begin nationality procedures as soon as the Mexican birth certificate is obtained.

At every step of the way, we are here to support you, ensuring your surrogacy experience is transparent, ethical, and worry-free.
