Nigeria - DNA Immigration testing

DNA Diagnostics Centre (DDC) specialises in bringing family members to the UK with our certified DNA testing immigration services. DDC’s laboratory certificates and high accuracy testing procedures ensure our results are routinely used for immigration appeals and applications.

Understanding the DNA Testing Process?

DDC have performed over 1 million genetic tests for customers around the world and since 1995, DDC are the preferred laboratory partner for immigration and law firms. Our immigration programme and network has been fully implemented and we work with various doctors and medical professionals throughout Nigeria, who on behalf of DDC will collect DNA samples for us for immigration and legal cases.

DDC’s full legal documentation and DNA collection swabs for your DNA test are onsite at these facilities and this will prevent any delays with your case. Our immigration advisors liaise with the Nigerian DNA sample collectors to ensure appointments and procedures are followed.

If you require a family member to join you in the UK in many cases you could need a DNA test to confirm biologically that you’re both related. A doctor will follow strict guidelines and will take a simple mouth (buccal) sample from each person being tested. The swabs used for collecting DNA samples from inside of the mouth are painless, highly accurate and quick. The doctor will complete all documentation and will send the paperwork and DNA samples to the DDC laboratory to be analysed.

Once the DNA test between the individuals has been completed, DDC’s test results can be used to help in immigration in to the UK and USA. DDC laboratory has an abundance of laboratory accreditations and recently achieved 16 perfect laboratory inspections.

If you wish to take a DNA test you first need to call our offices and discuss the test you need and identify a location for you to have DNA samples collected. Our helpful and experienced immigration team will advise you accordingly and schedule an appointment for you. Once all documentation is completed and all swabs are collected and sealed, these will be sent securely to DDC to be tested.
