When the Home Office asks for DNA evidence, choose a provider that meets legal standards. Brashan DNA Services arranges accredited immigration DNA testing, secure collection, and fast reporting. Call +442046204341 for case-specific guidance.

What are the Home Office requirements for DNA testing?

Use a legal DNA test, not an at-home kit. The Home Office requires a strict chain of custody, meaning a trained third party checks ID, collects the swab, and sends it directly to the lab. Order the correct Immigration DNA Test Kit.

Why must you choose an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory?

Choose an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. This standard confirms technical competence and reliable results. Using a non-accredited provider can lead to rejection.

How does the sample collection process work for overseas applicants?

Follow this process:

  1. Collect in the UK: Attend a collection site or book a mobile sampler.
  2. Collect overseas: Use an embassy, High Commission, or approved clinic.
  3. Ship securely: Send samples by tracked courier to the laboratory.
  4. Match the case: The lab links all samples using the case reference.

Call +442046204341 before booking if your case involves overseas relatives.

Which types of DNA tests are accepted for immigration?

The Home Office may accept:

  • Paternity or maternity tests
  • Sibling tests
  • Grandparentage or aunt/uncle tests

Use direct parentage testing where possible. View our Paternity DNA Test Kit, Maternity DNA Testing, and Sibling DNA Test Kit.

What is the timeline for immigration DNA results?

Act early. Immigration deadlines are often 28 to 60 days. Once all samples reach our laboratory by the cutoff time, results are usually ready in 3 to 5 working days.

How are DNA results interpreted for legal purposes?

Read the report carefully. It includes a Combined Relationship Index (CRI) and Probability of Relationship. For paternity, 99.9% or higher supports inclusion. A 0% result excludes the relationship.
