This paper attempts to make an initial assessment of the phenomenon of surrogate pregnancy in our country. Article 10 of the Spanish Law 14/2006 of 26th May on Assisted Human Reproduction Techniques expressly provides that: (a) The surrogate gestation contract shall be null and void; (b) The filiation of children born by substitute pregnancy shall be determined by childbirth. However, despite the clarity of the precept, Spanish children born abroad can now be registered in the Civil Registry by means of this reproduction technique, provided that the formal requirements laid down in the Instruction of 5th October 2010 of the Directorate-General for Registers and Notaries on filiation registration of children born through surrogate pregnancy are met.
