According to the recommendations made by the Law Commission of India in its 228th Report (2009) on Surrogacy, the birth certificate would bear the name of the commissioning parents only.
The Law Commission recommended that the commissioning parents should be recognized as the legal parents from the time of the child’s birth, and the birth certificate should show their names as parents. This was intended to prevent any legal issues regarding the child’s parentage and to protect the identity and privacy of the surrogate mother. The report advocated for altruistic surrogacy and strongly recommended against commercial surrogacy.
The recommendations aimed to provide a legal framework for surrogacy in India. While legislation has evolved since this report, the recommendation regarding the birth certificate primarily naming commissioning parents was a significant point to establish their legal parenthood immediately upon birth.
