Our DNA Tests
Resources
Published 17/10/2025
In the UK, roughly 12,000 sets of twins are born every year, and about one-third are identical. At AssureDNA, we’re often asked whether identical twins share exactly the same DNA — and whether a DNA test could ever tell them apart.
At AssureDNA, we've streamlined our DNA testing process to ensure fast, discreet results are delivered directly to you when you need them. That said, the time it takes to receive your results can vary depending on several factors. To help you better understand the process, we've created a guide that explains the order process and how long you can expect to wait to receive your at-home DNA test results.

At AssureDNA, we specialise in peace-of-mind testing, while our parent company AttoLife provides Ministry of Justice-approved testing for use in UK courts. Both types of test use the same ISO17025-accredited laboratory and the same science—but the difference lies in how the samples are collected and whether the results can be used in legal proceedings.

When you need answers about biological relationships, a sibling DNA test can provide the clarity you’re looking for. This test helps determine whether two individuals share one or both biological parents — especially useful when the alleged father or mother is unavailable for direct testing. At AssureDNA, we make the process simple, discreet, and accurate, with results typically ready within the next working day from receiving your samples.

If you’ve taken a sibling DNA test, aunt/uncle (avuncular) DNA test, or a grandparent DNA test, you might expect a simple "yes" or "no" answer. But relationship testing works a little differently. Instead of giving a binary result, these tests use a statistical approach called a likelihood ratio, which calculates how much more likely the tested relationship is—compared to the individuals being unrelated.

Paternity fraud is a massive issue and can be front page news! Globally, paternity fraud rates vary. In the UK, the average rate of cases is 1.6%, whereas in countries like Nigeria and Jamaica, the rates average 30% and 34.6%, respectively.

At AssureDNA, we often hear a surprising question when it comes to prenatal paternity testing: “How do you swab an unborn child?” “Is prenatal testing dangerous for my baby?” or “What are the risks of a prenatal test?” It’s an understandable query – after all, cheek swabs are a hallmark of DNA testing, and you can’t get a swab in the womb.

For a first-time mother, the question of how to get a paternity test may come with many emotions and uncertainties. Understanding the process and timing of a DNA paternity test can help provide clarity and peace of mind, whether you're seeking answers for personal reasons such as a peace of mind test, medical history, family planning, or even for immigration purposes.
A DNA paternity test is a scientific method used to determine whether a specific individual is the biological father of a child. By analysing DNA—the unique genetic blueprint each of us inherits from our parents—a paternity test can provide a definitive answer about parentage with near-perfect accuracy.
