Surrogacy in Nevada
Is Surrogacy Legal in Nevada?
Yes. Nevada is one of the most surrogacy-friendly states in the nation. State law expressly permits gestational surrogacy under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS 126.500–126.810), providing a well-defined legal framework that protects both intended parents and gestational carriers.
Pre-birth parentage orders are routinely granted. Nevada courts regularly issue pre-birth parentage orders, allowing intended parents to establish their legal parentage before their child is born. This helps ensure a smooth legal and hospital experience at delivery.
Nevada welcomes every type of family. Married and unmarried couples, LGBTQ+ intended parents, single parents by choice, and families using donor eggs, donor sperm, or donor embryos can all establish legal parentage through Nevada’s surrogacy laws, regardless of whether there is a genetic connection to the child.
Nevada offers flexible jurisdiction options. A surrogacy case may qualify under Nevada law if, for example:
• The child is expected to be born in Nevada
• The surrogate lives in Nevada
• The intended parent(s) reside in Nevada
• The surrogacy agreement was signed in Nevada
• IVF or embryo transfer procedures resulting in the pregnancy took place in Nevada
• These flexible jurisdiction requirements make Nevada an attractive option for many intended parents.
Experienced legal representation is essential. Every Nevada surrogacy journey should include a carefully drafted gestational carrier agreement and independent legal counsel for both the surrogate and intended parents. Accel Conceptions works alongside experienced Nevada assisted reproduction attorneys to ensure every journey complies with state law while protecting everyone involved.
