Paternity DNA Testing
At HealthyWays, we provide reliable paternity testing services that are scientifically validated. Our tests use advanced DNA technology to ensure accurate results. Whether you need clarity regarding family relationships or legal identification, our expert team is here to assist you through the process with professionalism and care.
We understand that the need for a DNA test often comes during a time of high emotion or legal necessity. We address these challenges with a patient-first approach:
Lack of Privacy & Public Stigma: Discreet Mobile Collection: We perform professional sample collection (painless buccal/cheek swabs) at your home or a private location of your choice. No queues, no waiting rooms, and no public exposure.
Confusing Genetic Data: Expert Guidance: Results with percentages like 99.9% or 0% can be overwhelming. A healthcare professional will personally call you to explain the findings clearly and discuss the next steps with empathy.
Accuracy Doubts: Accredited Partner: All samples are processed through our partner, a SANAS-accredited facility, ensuring that your results meet the highest international gold standards for genetic testing.
Legal Admissibility Concerns: Chain of Custody Protocols: For legal or maintenance purposes, we follow strict South African legal protocols. Our Registered Nurses verify identities and manage documentation to ensure your results are legally sound and admissible in court.

Legal DNA Test Per Person (alleged father, mother and child) R8400
To ensure a DNA test is legally admissible in South Africa—whether for the Maintenance Court, High Court, or the Department of Home Affairs—it must follow a strict Chain of Custody.
This process creates a "paper trail" that proves the samples collected belong to the individuals named on the report and that no tampering occurred between the collection and the lab.
Our Registered Nurses are trained to maintain this chain meticulously at your location.
- Positive Identification: Each person being tested must provide original, valid government-issued identification.
- 2 X Passport-Sized Photographs
- Original and certified copies of the identity document
Certified copy of the unabridged birth certificate of the child being tested.
Note: We take a photograph of the donor on-site for the lab file
- Professional, Neutral Collection: Samples cannot be self-collected. A neutral third party—the HealthyWays Registered Nurse—must perform the buccal (cheek) swab to testify that the sample was taken from the correct individual.
- Witnessed Consent Forms: All parties must sign official consent forms. In the case of a minor, the legal guardian must provide written consent. The collector also signs to certify that they witnessed the identity verification and collection.
- Tamper-Evident Sealing. Immediately after collection, the swabs are placed in specialised envelopes and then into a tamper-evident security bag. This bag is sealed in the presence of the donors, and it remains sealed until it reaches the technician at the lab.
- Secure Logistics. The sealed samples are transported directly to the laboratory via a secure courier or our own controlled logistics, ensuring they never pass through the hands of the individuals being tested.
