Run Grandparent Test
Are you curious if a child is biologically related to his paternal grandparents? Then you can perform a grandparent test. This test checks whether the DNA of the alleged grandparents is reflected in the DNA of the child. For this reason, this test is also very suitable for establishing paternity when the alleged father is unable or unwilling to cooperate in a paternity test.
We recommend that the biological mother also participate in the test. At that moment, the researcher can exclude the DNA material from the mother and focus on the DNA material of grandfather, grandmother and (grand)child. This improves the accuracy of the result.
Order and perform a grandparent test
With this DNA test, the buccal mucosa of both the grandchild and the grandparents (and possibly the biological mother) is needed. You can easily order the grandparent test online. We will then send you a DNA test kit with the necessary materials and instructions. You remove the cheek mucus yourself with a cotton swab. You then send this material to the laboratory that will carry out the research. You will receive the results by e-mail or post within a few working days. This can all be done completely anonymously.
How does it work?
When you have ordered a test, you will receive a package with a test kit from us. This comes in a neutral packaging, where your privacy is paramount.
Order test
You order the test online, after which the test kit is often delivered the next day in a neutral envelope.

You simply and painlessly take the DNA samples with cotton swabs and send them to us.
Analyzing DNA samples
Your DNA samples will be analyzed and tested in one of our labs within 4 working days.
Receive result
You will receive the test result by post or e-mail within 4 working days. Fast, simple and very reliable!
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the biological mother have to cooperate with a grandparent test?
This is not necessary, but if she does, the result of the test will be even more accurate. At that moment, the researcher can exclude the DNA material that the child has in common with the mother and focus on the DNA material of grandfather, grandmother and (grand)child.
Are there other DNA tests that establish paternity without the father participating?
Yes, other so-called ‘indirect’ DNA tests are possible. Think, for example, of the Y-chromosome test, the various (half) sibling tests and the uncle-aunt test.
I need the results urgently, is that possible?
Yes, we can speed up the process for a small additional fee. Please do not hesitate to contact us and we will inform you about the possibilities.
What is a legally valid test?
With the exception of the prenatal paternity test, all DNA tests from paternity test.nu can also be ordered in the legally valid version. Legally valid means that you can submit the result in a legal procedure or lawsuit. For example, about family reunification, custody, alimony or an inheritance. The reliability of a legally valid test is the same as with an informative (peace of mind) test. Only the collection of the DNA sample is different and must meet certain guarantees.
Can I also use the results of a peace of mind test in a lawsuit?
Although the result of a peace of mind test is just as reliable as the result of a legally valid paternity test, we are not aware of any cases where the result of a peace of mind test has been accepted in legal proceedings. That’s because of the way the DNA is taken. If the parties take the DNA themselves, without the presence of an independent third party, the court or government agency cannot simply assume that the samples submitted actually come from the right people. And that the monsters have not been tampered with. So if you want to be sure that you can use the results in a lawsuit, choose the “legally valid” option when ordering.
