Affordable Home Paternity DNA Testing – Two Flexible Payment Options

Both paternity DNA test options use the same UKAS ISO 17025-accredited laboratory process and deliver the same highly accurate results.

The only difference is when you choose to pay, allowing you to select the option that best suits your circumstances — without compromising on accuracy, turnaround time, or reliability.

Each kit includes everything needed to collect cheek-swab DNA samples easily at home, with clear instructions provided. Results are typically issued the next working day once samples are received and approved for analysis.

Paternity DNA Testing – Frequently Asked Questions

1. How accurate is the home paternity DNA test?

Our home paternity test is highly accurate. Each test is analysed at an ISO 17025-accredited UK laboratory using the same scientific methods as legal DNA tests. Home kits are for personal information only, but the analysis itself is extremely reliable.

2. How long do paternity DNA test results take?

Once your paternity samples reach the laboratory, results are usually ready on the next working day. If there is any issue with your samples or paperwork, our team will contact you quickly to resolve it.

3. Can I pay later or split the paternity test fee?

Yes. You can order a low-cost DNA sample collection kit (£4.99) and pay the laboratory analysis fee later, once your samples are returned.

When paying later, you may also split the fee into two parts — half on return of samples and half when results are due.

If you choose to pay upfront, you may be eligible to spread the cost using Klarna, Shop Pay Instalments or PayPal Pay Later (if eligible).

4. Does everyone need to be present to take a paternity test?

No. Each person simply collects their own cheek-swab samples at home.
Swabs can be taken at different times and posted back together in the same return envelope.

5. Will anyone else know I’ve taken a paternity test?

No. Paternity results are emailed securely and only to the individuals receiving the test. We do not share your results with any third parties.

6. Can this paternity kit be used for court or immigration?

No. Home paternity kits are for personal information only.

They cannot be used for court, child maintenance, immigration, or any legal purpose.

If you require a legally admissible paternity test, please book an appointment at one of our DNA Clinics.

7. Who should take part in a paternity DNA test?

For the most accurate result, we recommend including the alleged father and child, and the biological mother if available (mother testing is free).

The test can still be completed without the mother, but including her can increase result clarity.
