Description
Grandparent DNA testing is a valuable tool for families seeking to confirm biological relationships when a direct paternity test isn’t an option. This type of test provides a reliable alternative in cases where the alleged father is unavailable, deceased, or unwilling to participate. Whether you need results for personal reasons, legal matters, or immigration cases, our grandparent DNA testing service offers fast, accurate, and confidential results.
How Does Grandparent DNA Testing Work?
Grandparent DNA testing involves comparing the genetic profiles of a child with one or both of their paternal grandparents to establish a biological relationship with the alleged father’s side of the family. The test examines specific genetic markers that the child inherits from their biological parents and grandparents. Including the child’s mother in the test can increase the findings by helping to eliminate her contribution to the child’s DNA, allowing the focus to be solely on the paternal side. If the mother’s DNA is not able to be collected, for any reason, we can still perform the testing. In these situations, it may be necessary to examine additional DNA that has been collected, which may take an extra day or two to study. The results we will provide you with are guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

Ordering A DNA Grandparent Test
- Order Your Test Kit: Start by ordering a grandparent DNA test kit on our website. We offer options for both personal testing and legally admissible testing, depending on your needs. Both types of tests use the same rigorous methods to ensure high accuracy.
- Collect the Samples: Once you receive your test kit, follow the instructions to collect cheek swab samples from the child and the grandparents. If the child’s mother can participate, including her sample is suggested when possible. This may help the lab separate her genetic contribution. If the mother’s DNA is not included, we may need to test additional genetic markers from the DNA samples. There is no additional cost to test additional markers when necessary.
- Send Samples to our Lab: Use the prepaid overnight label included in your kit to send your samples to our accredited partner laboratory. Samples are handled with care and processed promptly upon arrival.
- Get Results: In 2 business days via email or mail, based on your preference after testing is complete. Your information remains confidential and accessible only to you.
