Do children of Hong Kong non-permanent residents born out of wedlock in the Mainland need a paternity test?

Required. According to the immigration and family visit policies on the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department’s Exit and Entry Government Service website, if the child is born out of wedlock, the child’s application to settle in Hong Kong must provide supporting documents that can prove the parent-child relationship, such as a paternity test. Paternity tests need to be carried out at institutions with relevant qualifications, such as the Guangdong Zhengfu Forensic Toxicology and Forensic Testing Institute approved by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Justice. Zhengfu Forensic Testing Institute is one of the first units in the province to accept paternity tests settled in Hong Kong and Macao.
