If you’ve been asked to provide DNA evidence for UK immigration, surrogacy, or family reunification, it’s essential that you use a trusted and accredited provider. At Greenplace Healthcare, we are proud to be the UK’s #1 trusted DNA testing service for immigration and legal purposes with Home Office Approved Partner Labs, supporting families through even the most complex international cases.
🏆 Why Greenplace Healthcare?
Greenplace Healthcare works exclusively with Home Office–approved, UKAS-accredited laboratories in both the UK and the USA. These laboratories process all of our DNA samples under strict chain-of-custody conditions, ensuring your test results are accepted by:
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI)
HM Passport Office
UK Courts
British Embassies abroad
We’re not just for simple cases—we also handle complex, multi-country DNA testing, where family members are based in India, Nigeria, Ghana, Albania, and other countries. Our team handles everything: from shipping the kits internationally to coordinating with approved local sample collectors in those countries. We are regulated by the CQC for our diagnostics and screening clinic.
📌 Why Legal DNA Testing Is Required for UK Immigration
DNA testing may be requested or required by UK immigration officials when there is insufficient documentation to prove a biological relationship. This is common for:
Family Reunification applications
Spouse and child visa requests
British Citizenship claims
Surrogacy-related passport applications
Leave to Remain or indefinite leave applications
Certificate of Entitlement (Right of Abode)
Amendments to official records, like correcting a birth certificate
In all these cases, only legally admissible DNA tests are accepted—meaning they must be collected under strict procedures and analyzed in an accredited lab.
🧬 How Legal DNA Testing Works
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what the process usually involves:
Sample Collection
Our trained professional collects cheek swabs (buccal samples) from each person being tested.
If one or more participants live overseas, we arrange for a qualified sample collector in their country.
ID is verified and photographs are taken as required by UKVI.
DNA Extraction
The collected samples are sent securely to our partner labs in the UK or USA, where DNA is isolated from the swabs.
Genotyping
The lab analyzes specific genetic markers to build a unique DNA profile for each individual.
Comparison & Reporting
DNA profiles are compared to confirm or exclude a biological relationship (e.g., parent–child, sibling, grandparent).
A formal legal report is issued, which can be submitted directly to the UK Home Office, embassies, or legal representatives.
🌍 We Support International Families
At Greenplace Healthcare, we understand that immigration and surrogacy cases often involve multiple countries. That’s why we’ve built a global network of partner labs and collectors, allowing us to provide:
✅ DNA testing for clients in Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ghana, Albania, South Africa, and more
✅ UKVI-compliant sample collection and documentation
✅ Fast turnaround—results typically ready in 1-3 working days
✅ Direct submission to the requesting immigration office or embassy (if required)
🔒 Why Accreditation Matters
When it comes to legal and immigration DNA testing, accreditation is not optional—it’s mandatory.
All Greenplace Healthcare tests are processed by labs that are:
🔹 UKAS-accredited (ISO/IEC 17025)
🔹 Approved by the UK Home Office and Ministry of Justice
🔹 Compliant with chain-of-custody legal standards
Unaccredited or “peace of mind” DNA tests will not be accepted for immigration or legal purposes.
