Peace of Mind Test DNA Paternity Test

The peace of mind paternity test should be considered when you only need to satisfy your personal desire to find out the truth. These results can not be used for legal purposes as there is no chain of custody in place when the samples are collected. Samples for the peace of mind paternity test are collected by the clients themselves as shown in our online Sample Collection Guide.

homeDNAdirect offers a complete Peace of Mind Test for only £119. This includes the sample collection paternity test kit, the analysis and the paternity test result. The test can be carried out with the samples of the Alleged Father and Child only, although inclusion of the Mother's sample when available is recommended. All tests are carried out on a 16 genetic marker basis. Results are available within 5-7 working days from the receipt of the samples at the laboratory.

The NHS does not offer Free Paternity DNA testing.

Alternative samples to sending an oral swab (such as hair, semen and blood) can also be provided for discrete paternity test or where one of the parties to be tested is not readily available for swabbing. A list of non-standard samples is listed in our Discrete DNA Samples section.

Please note that it is an offence under section 45 of the Human Tissue Act to have any bodily material with intent to analyse the DNA in it without qualifying consent, subject to certain exceptions. This offence applies to the whole of the UK.

How Does a DNA Paternity Test Work?

A child inherits half of their DNA from the biological Mother and half their DNA from the biological Father. The DNA profiles are then compared (on a 16 genetic marker basis) to establish whether the alleged father is indeed the biological Father of the child. If the alleged father is the biological Father of the child, then all the loci will match and he will be included as being the Father with a guaranteed probability in excess of 99.99% when the mother is included. The probability is normally in the paternity test is over 99.9% if the Mother is not included. If the man tested is not the biological Father of the child he will be 100% excluded resulting in a probability of paternity of 0%.
