Curious which genetic genealogy DNA tests are offered where you live? This list shows which companies sell tests in which countries around the world. The companies in the table are listed, left-to-right, in order of their database sizes (but see this post for 23andMe versus Family Tree DNA, a.k.a. FTDNA). Living DNA does not currently offer relative matching; they are included here because they plan to do so in the future.
The countries are listed alphabetically. If your country is not listed, see the last row in the table (Other Countries). You can link directly to each company from the header row of the table to confirm availability and to purchase.

Are any of the big DNA companies testing in China?
FTDNA, MyHeritage, and LivingDNA will ship to China. There is also a new company called WeGene that focuses on the Chinese market. Like LivingDNA, they do not provide relative matching yet but plan to do so in the future. I will add them to table if I can find a reference for where they sell tests.
Hi,
FamilytreeDNA ships to South Africa I believe.
Thanks
Thanks for letting us know!
I thought that France and Germany had passed laws prohibiting DNA testing period. So is it simply that people in those countries can have a test shipped to them and return it to the US for processing? Are there are any French or German companies that do DNA testing?
Right now, there are three main players in the atDNA market, and they’re all in the US.
I am confused why does france allow everything besides ancestry
France does not allow genealogical DNA testing. Some of the companies opt to sell kits there anyway. Ancestry has chosen not to.
Thank you that helped a lot. I am doing a french presentation on DNA testing in France, do you have any interesting information I could use. I have found information like how DNA testing has been banned since 1994 but not sure what else I should talk about.
MyHeritage does ship to France. I got two kits from it.
Thanks for the update. Their blog says they don’t ship to France, Poland, Israel, Alaska, or some French territories. I’m following up with them to find out the latest.
I’ve updated the post regarding France. Not only do they ship to there, they say that France is one of their largest target markets. Thanks again!
I thought that privacy laws in France prevented DNA testing there. I googled it and what I read says “private paternity testing,” is illegal. So French people can do autosomal testing for genealogy purposes? Doesn’t that lead to figuring out who a parent is though?
I am confused.
I’m not a lawyer, much less a French one, but given that four of the five companies sell genealogy tests there, it would appear that there is a loophole for genealogy tests.
It is indeed illegal in France, but to my knowledge no one who has done a DNA test in France has been fined.
Hi Gordon,
Do you have an updated list of the countries DNA is available please?
