A surrogate child may qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK if they are already present in the country and do not meet the eligibility criteria for a British passport, the right of abode, or British nationality. To submit an ILR application, the child’s legal parents must be either British citizens or individuals with settled status in the UK. Additionally, the ILR application can only be pursued once the intended parents have secured a parental order, legally establishing them as the child’s parents. This application must be made in compliance with the requirements outlined in paragraph 298 of the Immigration Rules.

Applying for a Parental Order After Your Child’s Birth

After your child is born via surrogacy, you must establish your legal parenthood. Comprehensive guidance on this process is available under Surrogacy: Legal Rights of Parents and Surrogates.

In England and Wales, a Parental Order can only be issued by the court once the child has arrived in the UK. As per Sections 54 and 54A of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008, at least one intended parent (or the sole applicant in the case of single parents) must be legally domiciled in the UK, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man. Additionally, the child must reside with the intended parent(s) in the UK at the time of applying for the Parental Order. A crucial requirement is that at least one intended parent must have a genetic connection to the child. Several other legal conditions must also be fulfilled to obtain the order.

The legal process differs for residents of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Further details can be found in the official guidance: Surrogacy: Legal Rights of Parents and Surrogates.
