Legal DNA Paternity Testing

Legal DNA Paternity Testing

Legal DNA paternity testing is designed for situations where results may be used in court proceedings, child support cases, custody matters, immigration applications, estate matters, or other legal contexts. The collection process follows documented chain-of-custody procedures to protect the integrity and admissibility of the results.

All participants must be present at the time of collection and must provide valid government-issued photo identification. Testing is performed by an AABB-accredited laboratory. Results are generally available within 3–5 business days after the laboratory receives all required samples and documents.

Informational DNA Paternity Testing

Informational paternity testing is available for individuals seeking personal knowledge when court-admissible documentation is not required. This option provides the same professional collection process without the formal chain-of-custody documentation required for legal proceedings.
