How to request DNA testing
Immigration DNA tests can ONLY be legally completed at the request of U.S. Immigration (USCIS) or if a Consular Officer has requested the DNA Test.
The requesting letter or proof of request must be submitted to our laboratory and include:
Full legal name of each participant.
Date of birth for each participant.
Contact phone number for each participant.
Mailing address for each participant.
Notation of where the party is located (e.g. U.S., International, or both).
Can I do the test myself?
No, unfortunately you cannot administer the test yourself.
At no time will the person(s) to be tested receive a test kit. There is a stringent chain of custody rules in effect and tests must be completely administered by an impartial third party.
Our laboratory will assist with the scheduling of appointments, the shipment of sample kits to and from U.S. Embassies or Consulates worldwide, and the release the official testing results to government authorities.
Please note that the test must be requested by U.S. Immigration. Do not request or purchase a DNA test for the purpose of immigration testing before receiving the requesting letter from the USCIS to do so. It will not be accepted by Immigration.
What does the testing cost?
While the cost starts at $495 the final price will vary depending on the location of the participant(s), amount of participants being tested, and if there are any excess shipping costs (out of country, etc).
