The maternity test cost depends on the type of collection and test you choose. Below, we have provided some examples of what a maternity test could cost based on your choices. Please note, all prices for appointment-based DNA tests are inclusive of VAT.

First, there are three types of sample collection service, these are:

An appointment for your maternity test at a DNA Clinic*.
Or, an appointment at a location of your *choice by a mobile collection officer.
Or, by ordering a maternity DNA test self-collection kit.

*geographic and practical limitations may apply for certain requests

Maternity Test Price Options

Appointment based maternity test prices at a DNA Clinic

If you wanted to book a ‘peace of mind’ maternity test at a clinic, the cost would be £250. This is for a mother and child. Or, if you wanted to test an extra child, this would increase the cost by £60. So, to test a mother and two children the total cost is £310.

What would be the cost of a legal maternity DNA test using the example above? The cost for mother and one child is £395. The extra person cost is £90. So, the total for mother and two children is £485.

DNA maternity test kits

If you prefer to take your own DNA mouth swab samples, you can order a DNA home kit. There are two options for the maternity DNA home kit.

You can order a maternity test kit from our online store. The DNA test kit is free and the test analysis fee on return of your samples is only £99.
You can call 0800 988 7107 and order a maternity home DNA kit from a Clinical Advisor. A deposit of £20 is required to order the kit, and the remaining test analysis cost is £99.

To have an extra person (child) tested for any of the above options is only £42.

Mobile collection maternity DNA test prices

If you choose this option, the prices for a maternity DNA test would be as follows. The basic cost for a mother and child is £290. The extra cost to have another child tested is £60. So the total cost for mother and two children is £350.

The Legal maternity test cost is £420 for a mother and child. The extra person (child) cost is £90. So, the total cost for testing two children is £510.

Split Payment Options

To help spread the cost of your DNA test, we offer a split payment option. This is a popular option and is available for all maternity DNA tests.

Self-collection maternity DNA test kits

We need the first half of the maternity test cost when we receive your samples to begin the analysis. To receive the results from your maternity test, you must pay the remaining balance before they are due.

Appointment based maternity DNA tests

To confirm the appointment, you must pay at least the first half of the test cost. To receive the results from your maternity test, you must pay the remaining balance before they are due.
