At home DNA paternity test
From $299.00 NZD
Our at-home DNA paternity test kits are designed to confirm or exclude whether a man is the biological father of a child. All that’s needed is a quick, painless cheek swab from the child and the alleged father. If you’d like to confirm whether you are the biological mother, you can choose our maternity DNA test.
Simple & Discreet Biological Father Testing
Our home paternity DNA kits are available to order online and can be delivered anywhere in New Zealand. Each kit includes everything you need to collect your DNA samples at home. Once your samples arrive at our ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratory, you’ll receive your confidential paternity test results by email within 5 business days.
Peace of Mind Parentage Testing Only
Results from our at-home DNA paternity tests are for personal knowledge and peace of mind only. Because your check swab samples are collected at home and not verified by an independent witness, they cannot be used in New Zealand Family Court or other legal proceedings.
Affordable and Accessible
You don’t need a doctor’s referral to order a paternity test. Our kits are priced from $299 NZD, and extra children can be added to the test for $199 NZD each.
How Paternity Tests Work
Children inherit half of their DNA from each parent. By comparing a child’s DNA profile with that of the alleged father, we can determine whether the man tested has passed on his DNA to the child.
At Identilab, we analyse 23 DNA markers (plus 4 markers for biological sex determination) to provide the most reliable DNA paternity testing results in New Zealand. All testing is performed in our purpose-built Australian laboratory by scientists with over 45 years of combined experience in human identification sciences.
DNA Paternity Testing With Father & Child Only
For the most accurate results, we recommend including the child’s mother in the test. However, DNA testing can still be performed for our New Zealand customers with just the alleged paternal father and child if the mother is not available.
