A home kit is the simplest way to get answers when your test is for personal knowledge and not for a court or government agency.
Simple and Convenient
No appointment and no trip to a collection site. Swab in a few minutes and mail it back with the included prepaid shipping.
Same Lab Accuracy
Home kit swabs are analyzed at the same AABB-accredited laboratory using the same methods as in-person tests, so results carry the same 99.99%+ accuracy.
Lower Cost
A personal home kit costs less than a legal test because it does not include the witnessed collection and chain-of-custody documentation a court-admissible test requires.

How does an at-home DNA test kit work?
The kit ships to your address with sterile cheek swabs, simple instructions, and prepaid return shipping. Each participant gently swabs the inside of their cheek for a few seconds, then you seal the swabs and mail them back. The laboratory processes the samples and returns your results.
Is a home kit as accurate as an in-person test?
Yes. Home kit swabs are analyzed at the same AABB-accredited laboratory, using the same genetic markers and methods as our in-person tests. The accuracy is identical at 99.99%+. The only difference is that a home kit has no chain of custody, so it cannot be used for legal purposes.
Which tests are available as a home kit?
Home kits are available for paternity, maternity, sibling, grandparent, and avuncular (aunt or uncle) testing. The collection method is the same for every relationship: each participant provides a painless cheek swab. Visit the page for the test you need to order that specific kit, or call us and we will set it up.
Can I use home kit results in court?
No. Home kit results are for personal knowledge only and are not admissible in court, child support, immigration, or any legal matter. Because you collect the samples yourself with no witness or identity check, there is no chain of custody verifying who was tested. For legal purposes you need a legal (chain-of-custody) test collected at a certified site.
How do I collect the sample?
Remove the sterile swab from its packaging and rub it firmly against the inside of your cheek for about 30 to 60 seconds. The process is painless and works for any age, including infants. Place each swab in its labeled envelope, seal it, and mail everything back in the prepaid packaging.
How long do results take?
Once the laboratory receives your samples, results are typically ready within 3 to 5 business days. Allow extra time for the kit to reach you and for your samples to ship back. For pricing or help getting started, call (866) 702-7644.
