A DNA paternity test is a scientific method used to verify if a man is the biological father of a child. The process involves using a simple mouth swab to collect DNA samples from both the alleged father and the child.
These samples are then sent to our accredited DNA laboratory for testing and analysis. In the lab, our scientists examine the DNA samples using 24 markers to assess the relationship between the individuals tested. This method yields highly accurate results, either excluding the man from paternity with absolute certainty or confirming a paternal relationship with a confidence level typically exceeding 99.99%. Including a sample from the mother, in addition to those from the child and alleged father, generally provides more definitive results.

What is a paternity DNA test?
A paternity DNA test is used to determine whether a man is the biological father of a child.
It compares the child’s DNA profile with the alleged father’s to check for a genetic match.
How accurate is a paternity test?
Our paternity tests are more than 99.99% accurate when confirming a biological relationship, and 100% accurate when excluding someone as the father.
Is the test painful or invasive?
Not at all. The process is completely painless and non-invasive.
We use a simple cheek swab (buccal swab) to collect DNA from the inside of the mouth.
Who needs to give consent for a paternity test?
Under UK law, informed consent is required from all individuals being tested.
For children under 16, a parent or legal guardian must provide consent.
Can the test be used in court?
Yes — we offer legal paternity tests that follow chain-of-custody procedures.
These results are accepted by family courts, solicitors, and government bodies.
How long does it take to get results?
Once all samples have arrived at our lab, you’ll typically receive your results within 3–5 working days.
Faster turnaround options are also available.
Can I take the test without the mother?
Yes. A conclusive result can usually be obtained with just the alleged father and child.
Including the mother's sample can increase the statistical strength, but is not always required.
Is the test confidential?
Absolutely. Your test and results are handled with the strictest confidentiality.
Only the individuals who ordered the test will have access to the results.
Will my results be kept on file?
No, unless you specifically request it.
We do not store your DNA samples or personal data beyond our required retention period. You can also request full deletion at any time.
Can we do a paternity test before the baby is born?
Yes, we offer non-invasive prenatal paternity tests, available from around 7–8 weeks of pregnancy.
These tests use a blood sample from the mother and a cheek swab from the alleged father.
