​

A proof of identity will be required prior to having your sample taken. This can be an ID Card, Passport (required for travel certificate), driver’s license or residents permit. Unfortunately we will not be able to assist you if you do not have any legal identification on you.

Generally we get 90% of results back to people in 24 hours however things such as capacity at the laboratory, Royal Mail Delays and test re-runs can mean results take slightly longer. We are not liable for any other associated costs should your results be delayed.
