Our Legal DNA Tests
A legal paternity test can be required in several situations,
including proving paternity in a court of law, changing a child’s
name on birth certificate and child custody cases.
Our legal maternity test is designed for court requirements, and can be used to establish if a mother and her children are biologically related for various legal reasons. To discover more information around maternity tests, visit our page on DNA maternity testing.
Establish if and how two or more siblings are biologically related with our legal sibling DNA test. A professional sample collector will collect the DNA samples, and the results are approved for court use. Visit our sibling DNA test page for more information
Legal avuncular testing is used to establish if an aunt or uncle is related to their niece or nephew. Avunculur testing can be conducted when an alleged father is not available for testing. Visit our Aunt/Uncle DNA test page for more information.
Our extend family DNA tests are designed to establish more distant biological relationships, including grandparent DNA testing
