Not in force

542.17. For the purposes of this division, where no bond of filiation is established between a child born of procreation involving surrogacy and a party to the parental project who has provided their reproductive material, that party is considered to be a third person having contributed to the procreation of the child; the woman or the person who gave birth to the child is then considered to be a person alone having formed a parental project involving the use of the reproductive material of that third person.

In such a case, the woman or person sends to the registrar of civil status, at the time the child’s declaration of birth is made, the name of the third person, the information making it possible to contact the latter and the information concerning the latter’s profile, determined by government regulation. After drawing up the act of birth, the registrar of civil status enters that information, the child’s name and date of birth, and the other information determined by government regulation in the register.
