What to bring, what the collector does, and how long a DNA sample collection appointment takes.
A typical scenario
A customer in Richmond prefers not to collect samples themselves and books a professional collection appointment.
Before you arrive
Bring government-issued photo ID for adults and identity documents for children where required. Avoid eating, drinking or smoking for about 30 minutes before collection.
At the appointment
The collector confirms each participant, collects cheek swabs, seals the samples and records the details. For most participants this takes only a few minutes.
After collection
Samples are prepared for laboratory testing and the case can be followed online.
