Paternity Testing

If you would like to establish who the father of a child is for personal rather than legal reasons, it is possible to collect your own samples at home with the mouth swabs included in our easy-to-use kits, then mail them in sealed envelopes for analysis in our laboratories.

We've put together a chart comparing the Top UK Laboratories for home testing - View Here.

If you need to prove who the biological father of a child is for legal reasons, such as when applying for maintenance or to alter a birth certificate, you can arrange to have DNA samples collected at one of our clinics, of which there are more than 3000 around the world.

Every DNA Test is accredited by ISO:17025 and all testing at our laboratory, Eurofins Medigenomix, is approved by the Ministry of Justice and UKBA.

Our paternity testing procedures are ISO accredited, designed to comply with the requirements of UK courts and exceed all international standards currently in existence. We have over a decade of experience and because we test for up to 46 DNA markers and never less than 21, you can trust our results.

We understand that most people are keen to receive results as soon as possible and do our utmost to ensure there are no delays. Once your samples have been collected and sent to a laboratory for paternity testing, it should be no more than 3-5 business days before the results are available.
