Frequently Asked Questions

A DNA maternity test is valuable in several Canadian 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.

Our DNA maternity test provides conclusive results with probabilities greater than 99.9999% for inclusions (when the tested woman is the biological mother) and 100% for exclusions. All testing is performed in our accredited Canadian laboratory using dual-process testing—your samples are independently analyzed twice against 27 genetic markers to ensure complete accuracy. Your DNA always remains in Canada, protected under Canadian privacy laws.

If test 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 reach 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.

For legal matters such as court proceedings, child custody, support cases, or inheritance claims, you will need to order the Legal DNA 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.

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.

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.

The collection process is extremely simple and painless. Your kit includes easy-to-use cheek swabs (similar to Q-tips) that you gently rub against the inside of the cheek for about 30 seconds. This collects enough DNA for testing without any blood or needles. The process works for everyone, including infants. Our kit includes clear instructions, and our customer service team is available if you need assistance.
