Task guide

Surrogacy evidence Home Affairs lists

• Written, signed consent to the citizenship application from the surrogate.
• Certified surrogate identity showing photograph and signature.

• Medical reports covering embryo creation and transfer.
• If a representative signed for an intended parent: power-of-attorney or similar authority and certified representative identity.

Resolve responsible-parent consent

A responsible parent signs an under-16 application. Where surrogacy law is absent or unclear, Home Affairs identifies the surrogate and potentially her spouse/partner as responsible parents. Confirm the signatures for this family.

Add birth and local records

Keep the issued birth certificate, any name links and relevant court/parentage records with the pack. Ask counsel to resolve conflicting names or dates before submission.
