Free At-Home COVID-19 Tests Available by Request

Anyone with a U.S. residential address can request COVID-19 tests to be delivered directly to their home through a new federal government website: www.covidtests.gov. DHCS encourages all Californians to take advantage of this opportunity. At this time, there is a limit of four at-home tests per household.

To place an order provide your name and residential address; no other identification, credit card, or health insurance information is required. These tests will be delivered in the mail through the U.S. Postal Service. There is also an option to provide an email address to receive email notifications with shipping updates. According to the federal government, tests will typically ship within 7-12 days after ordering.
