DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC) is the world’s leading provider of DNA testing for immigration purposes. Our vast experience with immigration clients and agencies from more than 168 countries worldwide sets us apart as the most trustworthy provider of DNA testing services for immigration.

DDC’s Immigration Experience


Since 1995, DDC has been providing the most reliable paternity, maternity, and other family relationship DNA tests to clients throughout the United States and around the world. With the following qualifications and advantages, we are able to provide the ultimate in high-quality service to clients who need DNA testing to satisfy immigration requirements.
 

Our laboratory is accredited by AABB and other organizations. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), U.S. embassies, and many immigration offices around the world require that DNA parentage tests for immigration purposes be performed by laboratories accredited by AABB. Not only is our lab accredited by AABB, it is highly commended by AABB for its unique Dual Process™—the practice of performing every DNA test twice from start to finish. We have also achieved accreditations from Forensic Quality Services-International (FQS-I) for meeting ISO 17025 standards, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), and other important organizations in the DNA testing industry. Read more about our accreditations and credentials.
 

We have a special Immigration Department that is dedicated to serving our immigration clients’ needs. Our specialized Immigration Department works closely with USCIS service centers, U.S. embassies, and petitioners, as well as with immigration attorneys and embassy-approved panel physicians abroad. We have foreign language capabilities and provide clear explanations of our DNA test results. Perhaps most importantly, we are well versed in the immigration policies of more than 168 countries worldwide. Read more about our countries served.
 

We have the most extensive network of sample collection sites. No matter where you are—in the United States or abroad—we can provide the DNA testing service you need to fulfill immigration requirements. Domestically, we have thousands of collection locations to assist clients in the United States and Canada. For our immigration clients in foreign countries, we can send DNA sample collection kits to U.S. embassies and embassy-approved panel physicians around the world.

 

Immigration and DNA Testing


During the immigration process, additional evidence may be needed to prove the biological relationship between a petitioner and a beneficiary. This situation may arise when initial evidence (i.e., birth certificate) and secondary evidence (e.g., baptismal, church, or school records) of a relationship is deemed insufficient or inconclusive by the USCIS or U.S. embassy. Read more about USCIS and embassy requirements here.

DNA testing is the most accurate and conclusive method of verifying biological relationships. For this reason, the USCIS and U.S. embassies often request that immigration petitioners undergo DNA testing to provide evidence of their claimed relationship with potential immigration beneficiaries. DNA tests used for immigration purposes include paternity tests, maternity tests, siblingship tests, and grandparentage tests. DDC has more than 12 years of experience performing all of these family relationship DNA tests and uses an extensive testing panel to produce the most conclusive results possible.

DDC understands that immigration is a long process involving many steps. We strive to make the DNA testing portion of the process as simple for our clients as possible. Our dedicated Immigration Team has working relationships with embassies all over the world and is familiar with the procedures set forth by the USCIS and U.S. embassies.
