How Do I Confirm Who Is Being Tested? | Cellmark

The decision to have a paternity test should not be taken lightly and you may have lots of questions. We urge you to consider all of the people involved and to decide whether this is the best course of action, particularly for any children in question.

How do I confirm who is being tested?

Two passport sized photographs and the signatures of each person being tested must be presented at the sampling appointment. These can be used to confirm the identity of the person(s) being tested and are sent with the samples to Cellmark.

In paternity cases all identification paperwork is held by Cellmark for a period of one year after which time the paperwork is destroyed in compliance with our registration with the Data Protection Act.

If you require further information then please call one of our friendly, professional and confidential Customer Service advisors on 08000 362522, or send your question via email to info@cellmark.co.uk, or use our discrete SMS service.

What is DNA?
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the body’s genetic ‘blueprint’. It is a long thread-like molecule that carries the genetic code that determines our individual characteristics.
