What is the fastest way to see if I may qualify as a surrogate?

Start with the application if you are 21–38, have given birth to and are raising at least one child, and meet the baseline BMI and residency requirements. A coordinator can then review whether deeper screening makes sense.

How do I sign up to be a surrogate?

Start with the short surrogate application before full formal review. It confirms the basic age, pregnancy-history, BMI, state, and timing factors before the team asks for deeper records or screening steps.

How can I be a surrogate if I am not sure I qualify?

Use the requirements page and application together. The requirements page explains the public criteria, while the application routes your specific situation to the right coordinator review or next resource.

How much can surrogate compensation start at?

For qualifying first-time surrogates, governed base-compensation guidance typically starts around $55,000–$85,000 before reimbursements, allowances, and qualifying add-ons.

A decision-ready overview

Program questions.

Start with the short application path, then complete the pre-screening details if the basics look right. A coordinator reviews eligibility, readiness, compensation questions, and timing before deeper screening.

Total packages commonly depend on base compensation, benefits, experience, location, insurance, travel, and match-specific details. The compensation page shows the current planning range.

Timing varies by screening, matching, legal clearance, clinic scheduling, transfer outcomes, and pregnancy milestones. Treat any single timeline as a planning guide, not a promise.

Often yes — a prior tubal ligation does not disqualify you, because a gestational surrogate carries an embryo created through IVF. Eligibility still depends on your full medical review.
