This guidance tells His Majesty’s Passport Office staff:

• what assisted reproduction is and the impact it has on passport applications
• why a passport application involving surrogacy (an example of assisted reproduction) has different requirements
• how to establish a customer’s parents to confirm their claim to British nationality and legal parentage
• how to deal with a passport application involving assisted reproduction, including what documents are needed to establish nationality, identity and entitlement to a British passport

If you are dealing with a passport application involving surrogacy, you must use the surrogacy guidance.
