What Is a Home Maternity DNA Test?
A home maternity DNA test compares the DNA of an alleged mother and a child to determine the probability of maternity. Testing is performed using advanced DNA analysis and evaluates 23 or more genetic markers to deliver highly reliable results.
Home maternity testing is intended for personal knowledge only and is not legally admissible. If results are needed for legal purposes, a legal chain-of-custody test is required.
When Is Home Maternity DNA Testing Used?
Home maternity DNA testing is commonly used to:
Confirm or rule out a biological maternity relationship
Resolve questions following adoption, IVF, or surrogacy
Gain clarity for personal or family knowledge
Support ancestry or family research
Including additional family members is typically not required for maternity testing, as results are usually conclusive.

Each home maternity DNA test kit includes:
Sterile cheek swabs for each participant

FAQs About Maternity DNA Tests
Below are some frequently asked questions about maternity tests.
-
Results from a home DNA test cannot be used as proof of paternity for legal reasons such as child support, custody, Social Security, etc. At-home results cannot be used because the DNA sample is collected by the test participants themselves. This means chain-of-custody protocol cannot be followed, and identities of tested parties cannot be independently verified.
-
Yes. Results for a home DNA test are just as accurate as they are for a legal paternity test. In fact, once DNA samples arrive at the lab, the process for testing is exactly the same for a home test as it is for a legal one. You can be certain your results for a home paternity test are accurate for the samples we are provided, but remember the results are just for peace of mind and personal knowledge only. If you need results for court or think you may in the future, call us.
-
We guarantee the accuracy of every test run. If the mother is determined to be the true biological mother, the results will likely show a Confidence of Maternity of over 99.999999%. NOTE: No relationship test can ever have a confidence level of 100% because there is always an extremely small chance (<0.000001%) that the genetic markers match by random coincidence.
-
Cheek swab samples are the industry standard for a home DNA test. Cheek swabs make DNA extraction by our laboratory’s professionals standardized and easy, which is one way to keep costs lower for our customers.
For Non-Standard samples, anything that is not an oral cheek swab, please see our Forensic Paternity Test page.If you have any questions regarding sample viability, reach out to one of our DNA experts.
