Becoming a surrogate in North Carolina
North Carolina has no state law setting carrier eligibility. Each agency and fertility clinic sets its own requirements. Most follow ASRM guidance on age and pregnancy history, and they ask for medical screening and a psychological evaluation before you are matched. What the evaluation covers
One clinical team, one standard
North Carolina surrogacy law
North Carolina has no statute governing gestational surrogacy, and no published court decision prohibits it. Gestational surrogacy is practiced in the state with parentage set by court order, and practice varies by county and judge. A 2023 bill to create a surrogacy statute did not pass.
This is a summary for general information, not legal advice. Your reproductive attorney confirms how these requirements apply to your agreement.
