First-time vs. repeat journeys

What changes the second time — including compensation and timelines.

Repeat surrogates often move faster because prior records and experience are already established with an agency.

Repeat compensation is usually individualized and can be higher than a first-time schedule.

Your account keeps one profile across multiple journeys. When you start another journey, you review and update what changed instead of starting over.

Consent is per journey: sharing your profile with an agency in a past journey does not carry over to a new one.
