Choosing between personal and legal tests

The site separates everyday relationship tests from official testing. A standard paternity or relationship kit suits personal questions, while legal or immigration testing runs under a different process and a quote is requested before you order. If a result may be used in a family court, a visa application or a passport matter, look at the legal section first rather than buying a home test.

Prenatal options

Prenatal testing has its own options, from a prenatal paternity test to a baby gender test and non-invasive prenatal genetic testing. These are different products with different price points, so compare the description of each before adding one to your basket.

Ancestry and health tests

Ancestry tests come in several forms, including a general origins test and tests focused on paternal or maternal lines. Health-related kits cover coeliac disease and lactose intolerance genetics. These are genetic tests that look at inherited markers, so read the product page to understand what each one can and cannot tell you before you buy.

Practical notes before ordering

Many tests use a simple cheek swab, and the site notes that some suit all ages, including newborn babies. If you need a test that is not listed, the team can be contacted directly to ask whether it is available.
