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

Kazakhstan’s Family Code permits ART for adult married and unmarried women who meet medical criteria. Egg and sperm donation can be anonymous or non-anonymous under regulated donor rules. Female-couple parentage and procedure-specific age limits require confirmation. Foreign patients must obtain clinic acceptance, consent and screening documents; surrogacy follows separate contractual and marriage conditions.
