If your surrogate child is ineligible for a British passport, Right of Abode, or Registration as a British Citizen, they may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Enter (ILE). The application process for ILE follows the criteria outlined in paragraph 297 of the Immigration Rules. However, the application can only be submitted once the parents of the surrogate child have secured a parental order, thereby establishing their legal parenthood over the child.

Application for Parental Order After the Birth of Your Child

After the birth of your child, it is essential to legally establish your status as their parent. For detailed guidance on this process, you can refer to the online resources regarding Surrogacy: Legal Rights of Parents and Surrogates.

In England and Wales, a Parental Order can only be granted by the court once the child has entered the UK. According to Sections 54 and 54A of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008, at least one of the intended parents (or the sole intended parent in cases of single applicants) must be domiciled in the UK, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man. Furthermore, the child must be residing with the intended parent(s) in the UK at the time of applying for the Parental Order. Additionally, a Parental Order can only be issued if at least one of the parents has a genetic connection to the child. There are several other specific conditions that must be satisfied for the application to proceed.

Please note that the procedure may differ if you reside in Scotland or Northern Ireland. For further clarification, refer to the guidance on Surrogacy: Legal Rights of Parents and Surrogates.
