Maternity DNA Testing – Accuracy & Trust You Can Rely On
Confirming a mother-child relationship is sometimes essential for peace of mind, medical reasons, or legal purposes. At DNAs Forensic Science Laboratory, we provide maternity DNA testing in India with the highest level of accuracy, confidentiality, and care.
Maternity DNA Test in India – Clear, Trusted & Legally Accepted
A Maternity Test is a DNA test that confirms whether a man is the biological mother of a child. Every human being has a unique DNA code, which is passed down from parents to children. A child’s DNA is made up of 50% from the mother and 50% from the mother. By comparing the child’s DNA with the women’s DNA, scientists can confirm if there is a true biological match.
By analysing specific genetic markers (STRs/SNPs), maternity DNA testing can deliver conclusive evidence of biological maternity. This makes it one of the most trusted and accepted methods for both personal reassurance and legal purposes.
Types of Maternity DNA Tests
Postnatal Maternity Test (After Birth)
- Done when the baby is already born.
- Non-invasive, painless, and very accurate.
- Most common for immigration, adoption, and personal verification.
Prenatal Maternity Test (During Pregnancy)
Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT): Uses a simple blood sample from the mother to detect fetal DNA. Safe and risk-free. Can be done from around 8-10 weeks of pregnancy.
Legal vs. Personal (Peace of Mind) Tests
“Not all DNA test reports are legally valid. Legal validity depends on the method of sample collection and the specific type of report required by the client. For court cases, immigration, or official purposes, a legally admissible DNA test with a proper chain-of-custody process must be followed, while peace-of-mind tests are intended only for personal reassurance.”
- Peace of Mind Test
- Can be ordered online.
- At-home collection kit available.
- Meant only for personal knowledge, not court cases.
- Legal DNA Test
- Requires strict chain-of-custody (documentation of who collected the sample, when, and how).
- Performed under professional supervision.
- Admissible in courts for custody, inheritance, and immigration.
Common Reasons People Choose a Maternity DNA Test
- Adoption & Reunions – To reconnect biological families.
- Surrogacy & IVF – To confirm genetic links.
- Immigration Cases – Many countries require proof of biological maternity for visa/citizenship.
- Hospital Mix-ups – But maternity testing can resolve confusion.
- Legal Disputes – Custody, inheritance, or other family-related matters.
- Medical History – Knowing biological heritage is vital for health and genetics.
