Maternity testing and surrogacy
Maternity testing can sometimes be used in cases of surrogacy in which gestational surrogacy has been used. In this case, the mother may want to confirm, by means of DNA testing, that the correct egg was used during the In-Vitro fertilisation process. The test results may also be used in cases of citizenship and immigration where the child can make a claim to New Zealand citizenship if his or her mother is a citizen of New Zealand. Proof of biological relationship will be required in cases where the child was born through surrogacy.
