Legal Paternity Tests
Complement Genomics Ltd t/a dadcheck® is accredited by the Ministry of Justice as "a body that may carry out parentage tests directed by the civil courts of England and Wales under section 20 of the Family Law Reform Act 1969".
This means our DNA tests can be used for such purposes as Birth Certificate amendments, the Courts, CSA/CMS amongst other legal reasons.

We have been assisting families with such applications for over 20 years and are able to work both UK nationwide and worldwide using our DHL Express Worldwide courier account for fast and efficient shipments overseas.
