Is IVF legal for foreigners in China?
Yes, under the same conditions that apply to everyone: assisted reproduction in China is available only to legally married couples, who must present a marriage certificate (foreign certificates typically require notarized translation) along with passports. Surrogacy is prohibited, and sex selection without medical indication is illegal. Single women and same-sex couples cannot access IVF in mainland China. Public Tier 3 Grade A hospitals — such as Peking University Third Hospital, home to one of China's leading reproductive medicine centers — do treat international patients who meet these documentation requirements.
