IVF laws in Armenia: age limits, eligibility & donor rules

Armenia’s reproductive-health law permits treatment for married couples and unmarried individuals, including single women. Egg and sperm donation are regulated, and known-donor contracts require notarisation. Female-couple parentage and procedure-specific age limits need confirmation. Foreign patients must distinguish IVF from surrogacy, which has additional nationality and genetic-relationship restrictions under the current law.

Who is eligible for IVF in Armenia?

The current law’s article 12 covers married couples with mutual consent and an unmarried woman or man. This does not establish couple status or joint parentage for a same-sex couple. Article 12 also imposes distinct foreign-national and genetic-relationship restrictions on surrogacy.

  • Heterosexual couples

    Permitted, subject to criteria

    Married couples require mutual consent under article 12.

  • Single women

    Permitted, subject to criteria

    Article 12 expressly includes an unmarried woman. Medical indications and method-specific conditions still apply.

  • Female couples

    Separate assessment required

    The cited national material does not establish eligibility or joint parentage for a female couple. Obtain confirmation of both before arranging treatment.

  • Male couples / surrogacy

    Separate assessment required

    The cited material does not establish a male-couple surrogacy pathway. Treatment access and legal parentage require a separate assessment.
