Paternity and kinship DNA testing
DNA testing can be used to assess biological relationships, including paternity, maternity and other forms of biological kinship. The appropriate test and documentation depend on the purpose of the analysis.
Testing options
- peace-of-mind testing for personal information;
- legal testing, completed under the required identification and chain-of-custody procedures; and
- kinship testing for other biological relationships.
Before sampling, please contact the laboratory to confirm the required documents, participants and procedure. Results are issued to the authorised recipient and should be interpreted in the context of the requested test.
