Frequently Asked Questions
What is an immigration DNA test?
An immigration DNA test is a test that is recognized and accepted by the Home Office as evidence of a biological relationship. You may be invited to provide DNA evidence for an immigration, visa, nationality or passport application if there is insufficient evidence to prove a biological relationship.
How much does immigration DNA testing cost?
The cost of immigration DNA testing varies depending on the number of people being tested and where everyone is located. Please contact us directly for a personalized quote by filling out our online quote form or contacting us by phone or email. Our team will respond within 24 hours with a personalized quote.
What is the DNA letter?
The DNA letter is a document issued by the Home Office that invites applicants to provide DNA test results from an ISO/IEC17025 accredited laboratory for immigration, visa, passport or other applications. To initiate the immigration DNA testing process, it is necessary to submit the DNA letter to our laboratory as it contains specific procedures and requirements for the test that depend on the locations of each family member.
How are DNA samples collected?
DNA samples are collected by an impartial third-party specimen collector ("Sampler"), who will use a sterile buccal swab to gently scrape the inside of the cheek to obtain a DNA sample. The collection process is quick, painless, and safe for individuals of all ages, including infants, children, and adults.
Do all family members need to be present at the same location?
No, the family members involved in the immigration DNA test do not need to be present at the same location. Genetrack has a global network of specimen collectors to collect DNA samples from all over the world. We can coordinate the sample collection process at multiple locations, both within UK and internationally, to accommodate the needs of your family.
Is my personal information and test results kept confidential?
Yes, we take the privacy and confidentiality of our clients seriously. All personal information and test results are securely stored and only shared with authorized parties involved in the immigration process.
How long does it take to get results?
Our immigration DNA testing results are available within 1 to 3 business days after we receive all the DNA samples. Once the results are ready, we will provide you with an official copy of the results and send a second official copy directly to the Home Office as required.
