What is a Maternity DNA test?

A maternity DNA test confirms whether a woman is the biological mother of a child by comparing their DNA profiles.

DNA samples are collected using simple, non-invasive cheek swabs and analysed at a UKAS ISO 17025-accredited UK laboratory.

Each person’s DNA is examined across multiple genetic markers. A child inherits half of their DNA from their biological mother, meaning the child’s DNA profile should match the mother’s profile at every tested location. If all markers match, maternity can be confirmed with a very high degree of accuracy.

Maternity DNA testing is commonly used to resolve uncertainty, correct documentation, or provide personal peace of mind. The test is suitable for adults and children of all ages (parental consent is required for under-16s).

All testing is carried out confidentially, with clear instructions provided to allow samples to be collected safely and discreetly at home.

Who takes part in the maternity test?

The standard maternity test involves:

● The child

● The alleged biological mother

This test compares the child’s DNA profile with that of the alleged mother to determine whether a biological relationship exists.

Testing without the father

The alleged father does not need to take part in a maternity DNA test. Results can be accurately produced using samples from the child and alleged mother only.

Testing more than one child

Additional children can be included within the same test where required. The correct number of mouth swabs is provided based on the option selected at checkout.

Consent for children

Where a child is under 16 years of age, consent must be provided by a person with parental responsibility. Clear instructions and consent forms are included with the test kit.
