The UDI has an arrangement with some Embassies where all applicants are offered DNA-examinations:

- Kampala, Uganda
- Abuja, Nigeria
- Abidjan, Ivory Coast

The UDI also co-operates with other embassies. The embassies in Asmara and Khartoum are examples of Norwegian embassies that often offer DNA-examinations to their applicants.
