Yes, you can. A common question we get from our clients is whether a single DNA test kit can be sent to different addresses across Canada. At DNA Tests Direct, we make it easy to test with individuals in separate locations.
Our goal is to make the DNA testing process as simple as possible, no matter where you and your relatives are. Here’s how our flexible shipping options work for you.
Option 1: Use Our "Split Kit" Service
Our "split kit" service handles everything for you. We’ll divide your DNA test kit and send each person’s collection components directly to their address.
How to order:
- During checkout, write "please split this kit" in the Comments section
- Include each person’s full name and complete mailing address
- Specify which participant’s kit goes where (example: "Alleged Father’s kit to John Smith, 123 Main St, Toronto ON M5V 3A1")
Each person’s collection kit is individually barcoded, so when the samples are returned to the laboratory, they are correctly matched and tested together once they reach the laboratory. An additional shipping fee of CA$15 will apply for split kits shipped to a Canadian address.
Option 2: Split the Kit Yourself
Prefer more control? Order the complete kit sent to your address, then distribute the individual components to other participants yourself. This is a great way to manage distribution on your own terms, giving you more control over timing and delivery.
Special Situations
No matter your circumstances, distance shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the answers you need. If you have any questions about our shipping options, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team.
Need a Kit Sent After Purchase?
Already ordered your test but realized you need to include someone else? Contact our Customer Support Team to purchase a replacement kit for the additional participant. We’ll ship it to their address (additional fees apply).
Legal DNA Testing Across Multiple Cities
Court-ordered and immigration DNA tests require witnessed sample collection to maintain chain of custody. DNA Tests Direct can easily accommodate participants in different locations by arranging separate chain-of-custody appointments in each participant’s city, maintaining the strict requirements for legally admissible results.

Getting DNA test results shouldn’t be complicated by geography. Our flexible shipping options make it easy to coordinate testing across Canada, no matter where your family members are located.
