Need Results for Legal Proceedings?
Standard at-home Maternity Test kits generally cannot be used for court proceedings or other official purposes. For court-admissible results accepted by US courts and government agencies (e.g., USCIS), choose our Legal DNA Maternity Test.
How is a Legal DNA Maternity Test different?
Legal DNA tests follow a strict chain-of-custody process that private, at-home kits cannot provide:
- Verification of government-issued photo ID
- Submission of passport-style photos
- Fingerprinting at the time of sample collection
- Witnessed specimen collection by an impartial third-party witness.

Understanding Your DNA Maternity Test Results
Your DNA Tests Direct maternity test report is designed to be clear, straightforward, and provide a definitive answer. You can expect one of two outcomes:
- Maternity Inclusion (Tested woman IS the biological mother) If the tested woman is the biological mother of the child, the report will show a probability of maternity of 99.9999% or higher. This conclusively confirms the maternal relationship.
- Maternity Exclusion (Tested woman IS NOT the biological mother) If the tested woman is not the biological mother of the child, the report will definitively show a probability of maternity of 0%. This conclusively excludes her as the biological mother.
Our reports are easy to understand, but our customer support team is available if you have any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
When would someone need a DNA maternity test?
A DNA maternity test is valuable in several contexts: adoption reunifications where adoptees want to confirm a biological connection with a potential birth mother; confirming relationships after fertility treatments or IVF procedures where mix-ups might be suspected; surrogate pregnancy situations; immigration cases requiring proof of biological relationships; or simply for personal peace of mind when questions arise about maternal relationships. Our test provides conclusive answers with guaranteed accuracy.
How accurate is your DNA maternity test?
Our DNA maternity test provides definitive results, confirming a maternal link with a probability greater than 99.9999% and excluding it with 100% certainty. For complete accuracy, every sample is independently tested twice in our internationally accredited laboratory, analyzing up to 27 genetic markers. We are committed to your privacy and safeguard your information with strict data security protocols.
Can you ship the DNA Maternity Test kit to multiple addresses?
If participants live in different cities or countries, we can split the DNA test kit and ship components to separate addresses. Each kit part is individually barcoded for secure tracking, and testing begins once all samples have arrived at our laboratory.
To request a split kit, include the following in the “Additional Information” section at checkout:
“Please send Person A’s kit to [Name, Address] and Person B’s kit to [Name, Address].”
Note: Additional shipping fees apply for multi-address orders.
Can I use these results for legal purposes?
For legal matters such as court proceedings, child custody, support cases, or inheritance claims, you will need to order the Legal DNA Maternity Test. This test requires a chain of custody procedure to ensure the results are admissible in court. The process includes having DNA samples collected by an impartial third party, proper identification of participants, and samples being directly sent to the testing laboratory.
Does the DNA test kit expire?
No, the DNA test kits do not have an expiration date and can be stored indefinitely before sample collection. However, once a sample is collected, it’s recommended to send the kit back to our laboratory for testing within 3 months to ensure the best results.
How do I read my DNA Maternity Test results?
Your results will display two numbers (alleles) representing the number of repeats you inherited from each parent at each STR. You may have either identical alleles or different ones at a marker. In a mother-child relationship, 50% of the STR variation will match between the child and the mother. This analysis will conclusively confirm if the alleged mother is the biological mother of the child.
Is the collection process difficult?
The collection process is simple and painless. Your kit includes easy-to-use cheek swabs that you gently rub against the inside of the cheek for about 30 seconds. This collects more than enough DNA for testing without any blood or needles. The process works for everyone, including infants. Your kit includes clear instructions, and our customer service team is available if you need assistance.
