Paternity Testing

Taking a paternity test with DNA Worldwide is simple. Each year thousands of clients choose DNA worldwide either to determine who the biological father of a child is for there own peace of mind, in order to resolve child maintenance issues, to change details on a birth certificate or to support an immigration application.

With years of experience in paternity testing DNA Worldwide understand both the concerns you have and what can be done to make the process as simple as possible. When you choose DNA Worldwide you will be assigned a Dedicated Case Manager. The case manger will help you with any questions and arrange the testing process for you. Your case manage will be available via email and phone both during and after the paternity testing is complete. 

For legal paternity testing cases one of the most time consuming steps is when a client has to arrange there own DNA collection appointments. A unique service by DNA Worldwide means your case manager will handle this for you, arranging either Doctors Appointments or Nurse Collections in the UK and setting up a local collection site for any participants located overseas.

As specialists in Immigration DNA Testing, DNA Worldwide have an established international collection network covering 98% of common countries where immigration tests are requested. This means we can provide results to meet tight court deadlines. In many countries overseas participants are able to visit the DNA Worldwide approved Doctor within 24/48hours to have their DNA Collected. If for any reason we do not have a collection site already setup, then we will setup an accredited Doctor for you. 

All shipping of kits both to the Doctors and back to our DNA Testing Laboratory is managed by DNA Worldwide. You simply need to attend your appointment with the correct ID and two passport sized photographs and everything else is taken care of.

When all participants are located in the UK and require a legal DNA Paternity Test to assist with Child Maintenance, to change the name on a Birth Certificate or for a conclusive court approved paternity test result the process is even simpler. DNA Worldwide have built a network of over 1,200 nurses, 850 Doctors and Walk In Clinics who are setup to collect DNA samples. When placing your DNA Testing order, your assigned case manager will work with you to arrange the most suitable DNA collection location. In many cases having a nurse visit the clients home is the preferred option. 

All DNA Testing for Paternity is conducted under ISO:17025 and is accredited for UK Courts. You can be assured that your DNA Test report will provide the supporting biological parentage result you need to move forward.

If you decided to take a Home Paternity Test, also known as a Peace of Mind Test, you can collect your own DNA samples at home. The same strict quality controls apply to every home paternity test as they do with all legal paternity tests however there is no "chain of custody" to prove who's samples have been collected. When carrying out a legal DNA Test the 3rd party independent doctor or nurse will verify the identity of the client and send the sampler to our DNA Laboratory, therefore providing chain of custody. 

A home paternity test is simple to do, a set of mouth swabs is included in the kit for each person along with full instructions. The whole process should take less than 15 minutes. Its advisable to seal up the envelopes and both the mother and father post the samples to our DNA Centre together. This helps ensure the trust and confidence in the results from either side and avoids any issues of tampering with samples.
