How do I use the HomeDNA Paternity Test Kit?

1. Purchase the kit at participating retailers. 2. Register your paternity test kit online by using our test setup OR fill out the included order form and send it in with your sample envelopes. 3. Fill out the DNA sample envelope information for each participant. Write each participant’s name, date of birth, race description, and (if applicable) their relationship to the other participants on the sample envelope.

How do you collect DNA Samples?

Collect DNA samples by rubbing swabs on the inside of the cheek to gather cells. Cheek swabs are convenient and safe for participants of any age, including infants. Each participant should use three swabs and place them in the corresponding sample envelope provided.

What do I do with the DNA samples once I’ve collected them?

Once each participant’s DNA is collected, send your samples and order form (if you did not use online test setup) to HomeDNA using the prepaid envelope included, your own envelope or an express courier like FedEx for fastest service. Read more about collecting DNA samples here.
