Accepted DNA Sample Options

This private grandparent DNA testing option allows customers to submit standard cheek swabs or qualifying discreet DNA samples. Traditional cheek swabs are recommended whenever possible because they typically provide the strongest and most reliable DNA sample.

Accepted alternative DNA samples may include:

  • Used toothbrush
  • Hair with root or follicle preferred
  • Earwax swab
  • Nail clippings
  • Chewed gum
  • Disposable razor

It may be acceptable to submit a standard cheek swab for one participant and an alternative DNA sample for the other, depending on the sample type and testing requirements.

Pricing Structure for Alternative Samples

Standard cheek swab collection is included with your DIY Grandparent DNA Test purchase. Alternative or discreet DNA samples may require additional viability testing and additional sample processing fees.

  • Standard DIY Grandparent DNA Test: Both participants use cheek swabs.
  • One Alternative Sample + One Cheek Swab: Additional alternative sample processing fee may apply.
  • Two Alternative Samples: Additional alternative sample processing fees may apply.
  • Additional Alternative Sample for the Same Person: Additional sample fee may apply for each extra sample submitted.

Important: All alternative DNA samples require viability testing. If usable DNA cannot be extracted, a replacement sample may be required. Viability testing and alternative sample processing fees are non-refundable once testing has begun.

How It Works

Simple DIY Process

  1. Order Online: Complete your purchase securely through My Forever DNA®.
  2. Receive Instructions by Email: Download your forms and step-by-step guidance after purchase.
  3. Collect DNA Samples: Use cheek swabs or approved alternative DNA samples.
  4. Package Properly: Place each participant’s sample in a separate paper envelope.
  5. Ship to the Lab: Send your samples using a tracked shipping method such as FedEx, UPS, USPS, or DHL.
  6. Receive Results: Confidential results are sent securely by email after lab processing is complete.

What You’ll Need

  • A printer, if available
  • 2 cotton swabs or Q-tips per person if using standard cheek swabs
  • 1 paper envelope per participant
  • Tape to seal each envelope
  • A mailing envelope
  • A tracked return shipping label

No Printer? No Problem.

If you do not have access to a printer, you may handwrite the required information from the result notification form onto a blank sheet of paper and include it with your DNA samples. Please make sure your order number, participant information, and contact information are clearly written and included with your return shipment.

What’s Included With Your Purchase

  • Downloadable instructions delivered by email
  • Printable result notification form
  • Personalized support from a dedicated DNA Specialist
  • All standard laboratory testing fees included
  • Advanced grandparent DNA relationship analysis
  • Confidential results sent securely by email

Most standard cheek swab results are completed within the stated testing timeframe after the laboratory receives, accepts, and places all required DNA samples into processing. Discreet or alternative DNA samples may require additional processing time.

Returning DNA Samples to the Lab

Customers are responsible for return shipping. For the best experience, send your DNA samples using a tracked shipping service such as FedEx, UPS, USPS Priority Mail, or DHL. Overnight or expedited delivery may help reduce transit time.

Please make sure each participant’s sample is packaged separately, clearly labeled, and returned with the completed result notification form or handwritten order information.

Important Information

This DNA test is intended for informational and personal knowledge purposes only and is not legally admissible. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. Legal DNA testing requires a separate chain-of-custody process.

My Forever DNA® | Accurate • Confidential • Fast Results You Can Trust

2-3 Day Results for Cheek Swabs | 5-7 Day Results for Discreet DNA Samples

Standard cheek-swab DNA tests are typically completed and emailed within 2-3 business days after samples are received and accepted by the laboratory.

Discreet or alternative DNA samples require additional review, evaluation, and preparation through the laboratory’s advanced forensic DNA department. Because these sample types require extra processing before DNA testing can be completed, results are typically completed and emailed within 5-7 business days after the samples are received and accepted by the laboratory - and in many cases, even sooner.

We understand that waiting for DNA answers can feel emotional, stressful, and overwhelming. That is why My Forever DNA® does things differently. We provide a fast, transparent, and fully supported testing experience, so you are never left wondering what comes next.

With My Forever DNA®, you receive:

  • Personal email confirmation from your dedicated DNA Specialist when your DNA samples are received, giving you direct access to a real person for check-ins, questions, or clarification.
  • A clear turnaround timeline so you know when to expect your results after your samples have been accepted for processing.
  • Secure, easy-to-read, full-color PDF results delivered by email, so you can download, save, or print your results for your records.
  • No confusing portals, no barcode activation, and no automated, impersonal communication. Just personalized guidance for life’s most important family answers.

Please note: Results are processed and emailed Monday through Friday only. Weekends and holidays are not included in the listed turnaround times.

The Human Advantage Behind Every Accurate DNA Result

We understand how personal, emotional, and important DNA testing can be. That is why My Forever DNA® does things differently by creating a more private, guided, and human DNA testing experience from start to finish.

You should not have to receive life-changing DNA test results through an impersonal portal with no clear way to speak to a real person.

Once your DNA samples arrive at the laboratory, your case is assigned to a Dedicated DNA Specialist who helps guide the process and keep you informed.

  • Direct phone and email communication with a real person
  • Personal confirmation when your DNA samples are received and placed into processing
  • Clear timelines and expectations so you know what happens next
