GRANDPARENT DNA TESTING IN NYC
Looking for answers about your family roots? Whether you’re confirming a biological relationship or seeking peace of mind, NYC DNA Testing Centers offers accurate, confidential, and legally admissible grandparent DNA testing in New York City.
What is a Grandparentage DNA Test?
A grandparentage test helps determine whether a child is biologically related to one or both grandparents. This type of test is often used when the alleged father is unavailable for paternity testing. Since we inherit 25% of our DNA from each grandparent, this test can confirm or rule out a genetic relationship with a high level of accuracy.
When Should You Consider This Test?
- The alleged father is unavailable or deceased
- For immigration or legal cases involving lineage
- To establish biological relationships for peace of mind
- When paternity is questioned, and grandparents are available
Who Can Participate in a Grandparentage Test?
We offer several testing combinations, including:
- Child, mother, and both grandparents (most accurate)
- Child, mother, and one grandparent
- Child and both grandparents
- Child and one grandparent
✅ Including both grandparents and the child’s mother provides the most conclusive results. Removing any of these individuals reduces the test’s accuracy.
DNA Sampling Methods
Our sample collection is simple and non-invasive. We use buccal swabs (cheek swabs) to collect DNA from each participant. The process:
- Takes less than 1 minute per person
- Is completely painless
- Delivers 99.99%+ accuracy when testing true biological relationships
- Can confirm non-relationships with 100% certainty
Legal Requirements in NYC
New York State law requires that a legal parent of the child — typically someone listed on the birth certificate — provides consent for the test. Grandparents cannot consent on behalf of a minor without this approval.

FAQ
Yes — NYC DNA Testing Centers use AABB-accredited laboratories, which means your test results are accepted in court, immigration cases, and other legal matters that require verified proof of a biological relationship.
Yes. While including the mother improves accuracy, we can perform grandparentage testing without the father or mother. However, the fewer participants, the more limited the analysis may be. Our experts will guide you to choose the best option for your case.
When both grandparents are tested along with the child and mother, accuracy can exceed 99.9%. If only one grandparent is tested or the mother is not included, the results are still reliable but may be slightly less conclusive.
