Consultation and support in confirming family ties: how to prove kinship to the Home Office

In cases of immigration applications to the Home Office where family relationships need to be proven, there is a need for clear and documented evidence of kinship. If the documents from the country of origin are incomplete or contradictory, or if a child is involved in the case, confirmation of family ties through a DNA test (ADN test) is often required.

The legal marketplace Consultant offers a service for ordering consultations and full support in confirming family ties — from preparing documents to officially passing and recognising the results of DNA testing in the United Kingdom.

When is a DNA test required for the immigration process in the United Kingdom?

In the following situations, the Home Office often requires official confirmation of kinship:

1. applying for a visa for a child or parent (e.g., a child born out of wedlock);
2. 
   family reunification in cases of refugees or persons with humanitarian protection;
3. 
   inconsistency or absence of birth documents;
4. 
   different surnames in relatives' documents or loss of certificates due to war or relocation.

ADN tests (DNA tests) are only recognised by the Home Office if they are carried out in an accredited laboratory, and documents are only recognised if they are correctly completed and accompanied by legal commentary.

Our lawyers liaise between the laboratory, the applicant and the immigration authorities.

What documents are required to prove family ties?

When gathering evidence of kinship, it is important to provide:

• birth certificates;
• 
  documents from medical or educational institutions indicating cohabitation or guardianship;
• 
  an official DNA laboratory report, which must be signed, sealed and sent directly to the Home Office;
• 
  an accompanying legal letter explaining the grounds and context of the application;
• 
  any other supporting evidence (correspondence, photographs, joint accounts, etc.).

The Consultant team helps to compile a complete package and correctly complete everything in accordance with the current UKVI instructions.
