Do you live in Africa and wonder how to take a DNA test from your country without going through a local lab or doctor? Whether it’s for a paternity search, establishing kinship, or a private genetic analysis, it is now possible to perform a DNA test from home—in a way that’s simple, confidential, and affordable.

What Is a DNA Test?
A DNA test analyzes a person’s genetic material to answer various questions:
Am I the father or mother of this child?
Are we siblings or cousins?
Do we share a common ancestor?
What is my genetic heritage?
Such a test does not necessarily require visiting a laboratory. It can be conducted independently, confidentially, and cost-effectively.
DNA testing allows analysis of your genetic material (your DNA) to establish kinship, explore your origins, or detect specific genetic markers.
The most common test is the paternity test, but others include sibling, grandparentage, ethnic origins, and zygosity tests.

Private Test vs. Legal Test: What’s the Difference?
It’s important to distinguish between two types of tests:
Legal DNA Test: Requires a medical appointment or legal procedure. Mandatory for legal actions (paternity acknowledgment, inheritance, etc.).
