What is an Immigration DNA Test?

immigration DNA test is needed when proof of relationship is required by immigration authorities, but birth records are insufficient or non-existent. A paternity, maternity, or other kinship DNA test may be needed. These DNA tests are conducted using legal, chain-of-custody procedures and processed by an AABB-accredited laboratory. 

Depending on the relationship that needs to be verified, different types of DNA tests may be conducted, including:

• Paternity DNA Test: To confirm the relationship between a father and a child.
• Maternity DNA Test: To establish the relationship between a mother and a child.
• Kinship DNA Test: To verify relationships between other family members, such as siblings, grandparents, or aunts and uncles.

Immigration DNA tests are performed using strict legal, chain-of-custody procedures to ensure that the results are recognized and accepted by immigration authorities. The testing process is carried out by an AABB-accredited laboratory, which is a requirement for results to be valid in immigration cases.

This type of DNA testing is particularly useful in situations where:

• Birth certificates or other records are missing, incomplete, or not recognized by the immigration authorities.
• Adoption or other complex family situations require additional proof of biological relationships.
• International immigration cases where different countries have varying standards for recognizing familial ties.

Immigration DNA testing provides a reliable and accurate method for establishing the biological relationships needed to support immigration applications, ensuring that families can stay together.
