Declaration of consent for use in assisted reproduction

Before treatment with assisted reproduction commences, you must agree to the treatment and give written consent. This is very important since otherwise later, when the child is born, problems may arise with registering the co-motherhood of the child.

If the donor is anonymous, you must complete the form ‘Consent and declaration of fatherhood or co-motherhood in assisted reproduction’ (Paragraphs 27 and 27 b of the Law on children), also known as form 8.

If the donor is known, you must complete the form ‘Consent and declaration of fatherhood or co-motherhood in assisted reproduction’ (Paragraphs 27 a(1) and (2) of the Law on children), also known as form 9. In the form you must state whether it is the donor who is to be the child’s father or whether it is the mother's partner who is to be the co-mother.

Regardless of which form you complete, it must be handed over to the healthcare staff at the healthcare establishment, who are to sign it and issue you with a copy.
