Wondering whether you meet the surrogate requirements? Start here. This guide explains the surrogate qualifications and surrogate mother requirements Yunda reviews first, including age, prior birth history, BMI, health, lifestyle, U.S. status, screening readiness, and home support.
Applying is private and not a commitment.
Submitting an application does not mean you are committing to a surrogacy journey. It simply helps Yunda review whether you may be a fit before records review, screening, legal coordination, insurance review, or matching begins.

Screening readinessMost surrogate requirements begin with one practical question: is it safe and realistic for you to move into a full review?
Yunda reviews surrogate qualifications in stages. The first step looks at age, pregnancy history, BMI, current health, lifestyle, state logistics, transportation, home support, and appointment readiness. If the basics fit, the next step is a private application and OB records review before any commitment is made.
Use this quick check to compare your situation with the surrogate requirements that usually receive the first review.
Medical and lifestyle review helps clinics decide whether gestational surrogacy is safe to consider. Records, pregnancy history, BMI, medication needs, nicotine or drug use, mental health readiness, and home support all matter before clearance.
You meet the surrogacy requirements best when you have at least one full-term birth and stable prenatal records. Clinics review C-section history, pregnancy complications, cycle regularity, and current health to confirm surrogate qualifications for gestational surrogacy.
Your screening starts with OB records. The clinic reviews your pregnancy history and current health, then schedules medical exams for you and, when needed, your partner. Doctors decide whether you meet transfer criteria and issue medical clearance before matching.
You meet with a licensed therapist to review support, expectations, motivation, and stress management. This helps confirm that becoming a surrogate is emotionally and practically appropriate before the journey moves forward.
Some factors can prevent approval, while others only delay the process. Final eligibility depends on OB records, clinic medical clearance, psychological screening, legal review, insurance review, and program requirements.
Possible disqualifying factors may include uncontrolled medical conditions, severe pregnancy complications, current nicotine or drug use, unsafe logistics, legal constraints, or clinic concerns after records review.
Temporary delays may include breastfeeding, recent childbirth, recent tattoos or piercings, pending records, or BMI outside the clinic range.

If the surrogate requirements look like a fit, the next step is a private application. It helps Yunda understand your surrogate qualifications before records review, screening, legal coordination, insurance review, escrow planning, or matching begins.
Starting the application simply opens a private eligibility review. You can ask questions and decide whether to continue before any agreement is signed.
The surrogate application asks about contact details, pregnancy history, health, lifestyle, preferences, legal/admin items, photos, and consent. Your draft is saved as you move through the form.
Yunda reviews your information for eligibility and next-step coordination. If you may qualify, a coordinator explains records review, screening, legal, insurance, escrow, and matching.

Total Compensation Package
Qualified surrogate candidates may receive a $61,000+ total compensation package through Yunda. Exact amounts depend on eligibility, agreement terms, medical events, approved reimbursements, state logistics, and program requirements.
Compensation and reimbursements are handled through clear agreement terms and escrow or trust account coordination. Legal protection, insurance review, and dedicated support are explained before the journey moves forward.
Basic surrogate requirements usually include age, prior pregnancy history, BMI, health background, lifestyle, state or residency factors, reliable transportation, home support, and readiness for medical, psychological, legal, and insurance screening.
Yunda generally reviews candidates ages 21–39, at least one prior full-term birth, and BMI within the clinic range. OB records, current health, medications, prior complications, and clinic guidance also matter.
Possible disqualifying factors include uncontrolled medical conditions, severe pregnancy complications, current nicotine or drug use, unsafe logistics, legal constraints, or clinic concerns after records review.
You may be able to start a conversation, but clinics usually wait until breastfeeding has ended and your body has had enough recovery time before medications and embryo transfer.
Yunda reviews U.S. citizens and U.S. residents accepted by the program. Your state, travel ability, identity or residency status, and legal logistics all affect whether you can move forward.
Yunda privately reviews your information. If you may qualify, a coordinator follows up to explain OB records review, medical screening, psychological evaluation, legal coordination, insurance review, escrow payment protection, and matching.
If these surrogate requirements match your situation, start a private application. We will review your information, explain next steps, and help you decide whether becoming a surrogate is the right path for you.
