Preparing and Submitting the Documents

The current document templates can be downloaded from the official website of the Centre for Assisted Reproduction.
Once complete, the documents are submitted to CAR in accordance with the current application procedure. Each submitted set of documents receives an incoming registration number, and applications are reviewed in the order in which they are received.
If approved, the Director of CAR issues an order for financial and organisational support. The procedure may begin once the order has been received and has entered into force. A new application must be submitted for the second and each subsequent attempt.
