Is it Legal to Bring Embryos into Georgia?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. The transportation of cryopreserved embryos, eggs, and sperm into Georgia is legal and commonly practiced, especially for patients who created embryos abroad and wish to continue their treatment in Georgia. However, the process is subject to strict documentation requirements and must comply with the regulations of of Georgia\u00a0and relevant international medical shipping protocols.<\/p>\n

The period from creation of embryo(s) until the embryo transfer shall not exceed 10 years<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What Documentation is Required?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

To legally import embryos or gametes into Georgia, several medical and legal documents are generally required. These MAY include a letter from the originating clinic confirming embryo creation, a laboratory report describing the biological material, embryo cryopreserved report, a signed declaration from the intended parents authorizing the shipment, and a confirmation from the recipient clinic (Reproart) stating readiness to receive and store the material etc. Additional documents may also be requested, depending on the case.<\/p>\n

The specific requirements may vary based on the country of origin, the clinic that created the embryos, the courier company involved, and other individual circumstances.<\/p>\n

For this reason, we recommend that all intended parents consult directly with our legal team. We will guide you through the process, review your documentation in advance, and help ensure that everything is in line with current Georgian regulations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What if You Already Have an Embryo with Donor Eggs and Plan Surrogacy in Georgia?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

If you already have an embryo created using donor eggs,<\/a> you may still be eligible for surrogacy in Georgia – as long as the donor is identifiable and agrees to sign the notarized surrogacy and donation agreement. This can be done either in person or through a legally authorized representative acting under a notarized Power of Attorney (POA).<\/p>

However, if the embryo was created using anonymous donor eggs, surrogacy is not permitted under Georgian law. An anonymous donor cannot be identified and cannot sign the notarized surrogacy agreement – and therefore, the embryo cannot be used in a surrogacy<\/a> program in Georgia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our Recommendation: Always Submit Documents for Pre-Approval<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Before arranging shipment of any embryos, oocytes, or sperm to Reproart, we strongly advise that you share\u00a0all related documents in advance<\/strong>\u00a0with our legal and medical teams. This helps ensure that:<\/p>

  • The documents meet Georgian legal requirements;<\/li>
  • No critical information is missing (e.g., consent forms, medical clearance);<\/li>
  • The shipment will be accepted without delays or complications at our clinic.<\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    We carefully review ownership confirmations, donor information (if applicable), and other necessary documentation. Once approved, we will issue our official confirmation letter allowing the shipment to proceed. This pre-approval step is essential for protecting your material, avoiding costly courier delays, and ensuring the timeline of your treatment remains on track.<\/p>

    Please speak with your patient manager before initiating any shipping process.<\/strong><\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
