Overview

The Maternity test compares the DNA of a mother and child to confirm a biological relationship for personal information. It's commonly chosen in situations such as confirming a relationship after an assisted-reproduction procedure or for personal reassurance.

This is a private, informational test. It is not chain-of-custody and not admissible in court, and it cannot be used for legal matters such as immigration.

  • Cheek swabs for two participants (mother, child)
  • Step-by-step illustrated instructions
  • Pre-addressed return mailer or FedEx label

Your privacy & trust

Your privacy matters to us, and DNA information is among the most sensitive personal data there is.

  • Samples are used only to perform the test you ordered and are destroyed after testing is complete. <!-- TODO: confirm exact sample-retention window with fulfillment lab before publishing -->
  • Results are delivered privately by email and are never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing.
  • Your DNA data is treated as sensitive personal information. While at-home, informational tests are generally not covered by HIPAA, we handle your results with comparable care.
  • You can request deletion of your records at any time by contacting us.

Frequently asked questions

When would I use a maternity test?
Common reasons include confirming a biological relationship after assisted reproduction or simply for personal reassurance. It is always for personal information, never for legal use.
Is this admissible in court?
No. Like all of our at-home tests, it is for peace of mind only and cannot be used in legal proceedings.

Need a legal DNA test?

Need results for a custody case, child support, immigration, or any other legal matter? An at-home test cannot be used for those purposes. You'll need a court-approved, chain-of-custody DNA test performed through an accredited laboratory, where a neutral third party verifies every participant's identity and handles the samples.
