FTDNA tests meet the highest standard for precision and reliability which
requires individual verification by very skilled professionals. Therefore,
typical times between the time when the kit goes to the lab for processing
and the availability of results is:
12 Marker Y-DNA - 4 weeks
25 Marker Y-DNA - 6 weeks
37 Marker Y-DNA - 6 weeks
67 Marker Y-DNA - 6 weeks
12 to 25 Marker Y-DNA Upgrade - 4 Weeks
12 to 37 Marker Y-DNA Upgrade - 4 Weeks
25 to 37 Marker Y-DNA Upgrade - 4 Weeks
12 to 67 Marker Y-DNA Upgrade - 6 Weeks
25 to 67 Marker Y-DNA Upgrade - 5 Weeks
37 to 67 Marker Y-DNA Upgrade - 5 Weeks

mtDNA Tests - 5 Weeks

(kits go to the lab in batches every week)

These times are for tests that have a successful outcome from the first
run at the lab. Approximately 85% of the first runs are successful. The
tests are rerun on the other 15% until a good result is obtained.
Unfortunately, each rerun adds two weeks to the process. FTDNA understands
that the delay is frustrating to participants. When a delay occurs, your
sample is being rerun as many times as it takes to achieve a successful
result.

Finally, FTDNA would like to recommend that you join the International
Society of Genetic Genealogy at www.isogg.org. Membership is free and it
is a good resource.
