How are sample donors identified at the time of sampling?
When you take the sample, please provide two passport size photographs and ask the person taking the sample to sign them on the back, certifying that the sample has been taken from the person on the photograph. There is also a space for this on the consent form. Your solicitors may advise you to provide other warranties as to identity at the time of sample taking, which you should discuss with them independent of your use of the Willcheck® or Genecheck service. If there is any debate over the identity of the person giving the sample, then one of the photographs and a copy of the signature of the person giving the sample (from the consent form) will be provided to an authorized representative. It is NOT necessary for all individuals who are giving a sample to either be present at the sampling time or to be in the same place.
