How long does it take to receive my 23andMe results?

The duration to receive 23andMe results typically varies between 3 to 5 weeks. Once you send in your saliva sample, it takes approximately 2-3 weeks for the lab to process it. During this time, your DNA is extracted and analyzed to generate the genetic reports. After the analysis, the results undergo a review process by qualified professionals to maintain accuracy. This additional internal quality control step ensures that you receive reliable and precise information about your genetic traits, health predispositions, and ancestry. Finally, once the reports are ready, you will be notified via email. From the email notification, you can access your results on the 23andMe website or mobile app. Despite occasionally encountering processing delays, the estimated time frame for receiving your 23andMe results is usually within 3 to 5 weeks.
