Our Maternity DNA Testing Kit is fast, simple and easy to use. Just collect a blood or cheeck cell sample from both the alleged mother and child (including the father is highly recommended) and send them to our lab via the provided prepaid mailer. Results are fast, reliable and accurate. We provide them in the form of a notorized report so your privacy is maintained.
Collection Methods:
Buccal Swab:
Buccal is the "Cheek Swab" Test. A buccal swab is soft and resembles a large Q-Tip. It is used to collect a sample of cheek cells by simply rubbing the inside of the cheeks. It is as accurate as blood, as the DNA is the same. A person should, however, abstain from drinking coffee for a few hours before taking a sample, and smokers should rinse and brush their cheeks with a toothbrush before swabbing.
How to collect buccal swab:
The inside of the cheek of each person being tested is gently wiped with a soft sterile swab. Swabbing a cheek is a safe, easy way to collect the sample. Each sample is then sealed in its own envelope, labeled for identification purposes and sent to our lab for processing.
Except for infants and very young children, each person collects his or her own samples; the collection process is simple. Buccal sampling takes about 45 minutes for 3 people, with an additional 60-90 minutes for the swabs to dry.
Blood Collection:
If you're considering the blood option, it is quite important that you contact your physician for the collection of blood samples for children under 8 years of age. We offer this option because it is much faster and easier for you to collect. The procedure involves a small lancet that is used to lightly pierce a finger (most don't even feel it). A small drop of blood is then transferred to a collection card - that's it.
If you're considering the blood option, it is quite important that you contact your physician for the collection of blood samples for children under 8 years of age.
International buyers are responsible for shipping the specimens back to the lab in the United States. TestCountry is not responsible for failed tests due to delays and/or miscollection of specimens.
- This test is for the alleged parent and child ONLY; if you wish to test a third person please view our 3 person DNA test.
The Chain of Custody Form is valid for one year after the date of purchase.

"My half-sister and I wanted to find out if we really were related because there was always some doubt about if we were actually sisters at all. So we ordered this kit to find out once and for all.
The kit came pretty quickly and we both swabbed out cheeks, which is an easy thing to do. We then shipped it off and the results came back in about a week, as promised.
We have found out that we are definitely related so that’s good.
The only drawback of this test is the price, which is sort of expensive but other than that, I can recommend it totally. "
"We used this test to determine whether or not a 4 year old girl was my husband’s from a previous girlfriend. We administered the at home test and got the results and were able to eliminate him as a possible father. Highly recommended!!"
"Confidential. Inexpensive. Prompt. You really can't go wrong with this test, especially if you are trying to avoid court costs. If you have additional questions, customer service is available to help. Highly recommended."
"Used this service to find out out about a couple of kids of mine (I have a large brood) and it works like it says it’s supposed to. I was able to find out that one of my boys has a different father than I had thought. "
"Found out I’m a daddy because of this test! Awesome!"
