When does an uncle or aunt test?
You perform an uncle or aunt test if you want to confirm whether you are actually related. There can be several reasons for this. For example in the case of an inheritance, adoption or immigration issues. But the test can also be performed to establish paternity if the father does not want to cooperate with a paternity test.
The test is almost always performed to determine whether a child has a biological connection to the alleged father’s sibling. It is not necessary for this test that the biological mother is tested. If it does, it will improve the accuracy of the test.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the uncle or aunt test for?
The aunt or uncle test is used to determine whether a child is related to the alleged father’s sibling. With this test, family relationships can be established, for example in connection with an inheritance, an adoption issue or in immigration matters. If the alleged father is unwilling or unable to cooperate with a paternity test, this test can also be used to establish paternity.
Does the biological mother have to cooperate with an uncle or aunt 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 uncle or aunt and 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 grandparent 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.
