Reasons for maternity DNA testing

Maternity tests are far less common than paternity tests and are mainly done for the following reasons:

Immigration purposes: In this case, a child might seek to join their mother in a non-native country and the results of an immigration DNA maternity test will actually be required along with other documents. Often the immigration authorities will look favourably at applications and relationship claims which are backed with scientific evidence. Whether you will need an immigration DNA test depends very much on the country you were born in and the country you plan migrating to. Read more about immigration testing.

Adoption – children might wish to confirm whether a person is their biological mother. This is not a common scenario as there are many countries which make it impossible for an adopted child to track down their birth parents. However, in some cases, children or mothers might have suspicions about who their biological child or parent is and may wish to quash these with a DNA test.
