Notarizing a Surrogate Pregnancy Agreement – Ensuring Legal Clarity Between a Surrogate and Intended Parents

A surrogate pregnancy agreement outlines the rights, responsibilities, and expectations of the surrogate and the intended parents. Having the agreement notarized adds an important layer of legal assurance. A notarized document verifies the identities of all parties, confirms that each person signed willingly, and helps prevent future disputes over authenticity. While notarization does not make the agreement automatically enforceable in every jurisdiction—since surrogacy laws vary—it does provide a stronger legal foundation, demonstrating that the parties reviewed and signed the document in good faith and with full understanding.
