View full detailsStart private DNA sample collection at home without waiting for a physical DNA kit to arrive. My Forever DNA® DIY Digital Home DNA Test Kits, previously known as Make Your Own Kits, give you clear digital instructions so you can collect samples using approved household supplies and mail them to the laboratory for processing.
This option is designed for customers who want a private, flexible, no-physical-kit-shipped DNA collection process with real human support, professional lab processing, and clear next steps from start to finish.
A DIY “Make Your Own” Home DNA Test Kit is a digital DNA sample collection option. Instead of waiting for a physical kit to be mailed to your home, you receive collection instructions electronically and use approved household supplies to collect and prepare your samples.
After collection, your samples are mailed to the laboratory for DNA analysis. This gives you the privacy and flexibility of at-home collection while still relying on professional laboratory processing.
Important clarification: This is not an at-home result test. DNA analysis is not performed in your home. You collect the samples at home, then mail them to the laboratory for testing.
DNA testing can involve private family questions, emotional decisions, and sensitive circumstances. My Forever DNA® created this digital collection option for customers who want a simpler, more private way to begin.
Start Without Waiting for a Mailed Kit
Receive digital instructions after purchase so you can begin the sample collection process without waiting for a traditional DNA kit shipment.
Private and Discreet Collection
This option may be helpful if you prefer not to have a DNA testing package delivered to your home.
Professional Lab Processing
You collect your samples at home, but DNA analysis is completed after the samples are received by the laboratory.
Real Human Support
My Forever DNA® provides personal guidance instead of leaving customers to rely only on portals, barcodes, or automated systems.
This collection may be a good fit for customers who want to begin DNA sample collection privately, quickly, and without a physical kit shipment.
If you are unsure which testing option is right for your situation, contact My Forever DNA® before placing your order.
Every family situation is different. My Forever DNA® offers multiple relationship testing options so customers can choose the test that best matches their question.
DIY Paternity DNA Testing
For customers who want to collect samples for a possible father-child biological relationship test.
DIY Sibling DNA Testing
For customers who need help determining whether two people may share one or both biological parents.
DIY Grandparent DNA Testing
For family situations where a parent may be unavailable and a grandparent relationship test may help provide answers.
Other testing options may include maternity DNA testing, aunt or uncle DNA testing, twin zygosity DNA testing, and discreet DNA testing. If you are not sure which test fits your situation, our team can help explain your options.
The DIY digital process is designed to be simple, private, and easy to follow while still helping protect sample integrity.

In some cases, yes. A DIY digital collection option may be helpful for customers who want to submit discreet or alternative DNA samples because no physical testing kit is shipped to the home.
Depending on the test type and sample condition, possible alternative DNA sample sources may include items such as a toothbrush, hair with root, nail clippings, earwax, razors, tissues, chewing gum, cigarette butts, or other items that may contain biological material.
Sample viability can vary. Discreet and alternative samples must contain enough usable DNA for testing. Viability depends on the sample type, age, condition, storage, and handling. No discreet or alternative DNA sample can be guaranteed before laboratory review and processing.
If you are considering this option, review our discreet home DNA testing options or contact our team before ordering.
DIY digital DNA testing gives customers the convenience of at-home collection while still relying on professional laboratory analysis after the samples are received.
This is an important distinction. You are not performing DNA analysis at home. You are collecting and preparing the samples at home, then mailing them to the laboratory for testing.
To learn more about My Forever DNA® laboratory standards and testing confidence, visit our laboratory and accreditation information page.
DIY digital DNA test kits may be especially helpful for international customers because no physical kit needs to be shipped before sample collection begins.
International customers are responsible for following the instructions, preparing samples correctly, and mailing samples to the laboratory using a reliable shipping method. Shipping times, customs requirements, and courier rules may vary by country.
DNA testing is not just a transaction. It often involves family questions, emotional uncertainty, privacy concerns, and the need for clear answers. My Forever DNA® is built for customers who want a more personal DNA testing experience.
For more information about privacy, intended use, and responsible DNA testing expectations, review the My Forever DNA® Trust & Transparency Statement.
A DIY Digital Home DNA Test Kit is not the only option. If you would rather receive a physical kit in the mail or need legally admissible DNA test results, My Forever DNA® offers several clear paths.
Traditional At-Home DNA Tests
Prefer a physical kit shipped to your home?
Paternity DNA Testing
Need to confirm a possible father-child biological relationship?
Legal DNA Testing
Need results for court, custody, child support, immigration, a birth certificate update, or another official purpose?
You deserve a DNA testing process that feels private, clear, and supported from the beginning. With My Forever DNA®, you can begin DNA sample collection at home without waiting for a traditional physical kit to arrive.
Informational at-home DNA tests are intended for personal knowledge and peace of mind only. They are not intended for legal or court-admissible purposes unless a legal chain-of-custody DNA test is specifically purchased.
DNA testing products are not medical devices and are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or assess any medical condition. For discreet or alternative DNA samples, sample viability may vary based on the type, age, condition, storage, and handling of the sample.
No DNA analysis is performed at home. DNA analysis is completed only after submitted samples are received by the laboratory.
