A paternity DNA test is the most accurate way to determine if a man is the biological father of a child. Our test uses a quick, pain-free cheek swab from both the child and the alleged father, with optional inclusion of the mother to improve result certainty.
All samples are analysed in our UK-based ISO-accredited laboratory using advanced 24-marker DNA profiling. This scientific method delivers highly conclusive results—either excluding the man with 100% certainty or confirming paternity with over 99.99% accuracy.
We use industry-leading laboratory technology to ensure over 99.99% accuracy in all our DNA relationship tests — giving you confidence in every result.
Our test kits are simple, safe, and come with step-by-step instructions. Collect your sample painlessly at home in under 5 minutes.
Once we receive your samples, results are typically delivered within 3–5 working days — with express services available.
All our DNA tests are conducted in ISO 17025-accredited laboratories, ensuring high standards of quality and reliability.
We offer flexible testing options, including home delivery, separate locations, and discreet packaging — tailored to your situation.

Non-invasive DNA tests — how do they work?
A non-invasive DNA test uses a simple cheek swab to collect DNA without needles or clinic visits. At AssureDNA, our sample collection kits are easy to use at home and returned to us to be analysed in our UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate, confidential results.
What consent is required for an At-Home DNA Paternity Test?
No test will be undertaken without the consent of each adult to be tested (unless a court has ruled otherwise). Each adult is required to sign a Consent Form. An adult is someone who is 18 years or over. A child of 16 or 17 years of age is presumed to be capable of giving consent and may give consent as if they were an adult. Each participant over the age of 16 years will need to consent for their DNA to be tested and will need to support this with a suitable copy of identification.
How long does it take to get DNA test results?
At AssureDNA, we deliver results the next working day after your samples arrive at our laboratory. With fast kit dispatch, first-class Royal Mail delivery, and efficient processing, you’ll have your answers quickly.
Are the results confidential?
Yes, under the requirements of UK Data Protection laws, all services and results are confidential. Only those conducting a test or those consenting for people in the test can see the report.
Are At-Home DNA Paternity Test legally admissible in court?
AssureDNA offers tests for peace of mind purposes. Legal tests require strict chain-of-custody protocols. If you're looking for a legal test (for example, to use in Court), just get in touch and we can guide you through our legal testing service.
