Legal Cousin Test
From £339
The Legal DNA Cousin Test is designed to assess whether two individuals are biologically related as first cousins, often used when direct family members like parents are unavailable for testing. This test may be accepted in legal or immigration proceedings where evidence of extended family relationships is required. With professional sample collection and chain-of-custody documentation, the test meets Canadian court and IRCC standards. All samples are tested twice in our accredited Canadian laboratory, and results are available within 1–2 business days.

Legal vs. Private DNA Testing
Understanding the difference between legal and home paternity tests is key for making the right choice for your situation. While both tests use identical laboratory analysis, only legal tests provide the documentation and procedures required for court proceedings.
