Select from the options below:
To be considered legal this test must be shipped to and handled only by an uninterested and unrelated 3rd party. Please see our documentation on Chain of Custody and what makes a DNA test legal.
The Legal Paternity DNA test will determine the likelihood that a male is the biological father of a child. Our standard test includes testing for one potential father and one child. While the test can be done with only the father and child, we strongly recommend testing the mother to increase the accuracy.
Our standard Paternity DNA kit includes testing for:
1 Child
1 Alleged Father
We strongly encourage the inclusion of the mother to increase the accuracy of the results.
For any DNA test to be considered Court Admissible it must be shipped to and handled only by an uninterested and unrelated 3rd party. This 3rd party will take responsibility for collecting the samples, verifying the identity of the participants, and returning the samples to our lab. This can be a lawyer, doctor, nurse, or someone with no interest in the results of the test. Detailed instructions can be seen here.
Our laboratory is fully AABB accredited and ISO certified and we test for 23 STR loci and gender ID markers to ensure the highest quality and accuracy of all DNA results.
Results will be ready in as little as 2 days after our lab has received the samples.
*We mail our testing kits in discreet unmarked envelopes and may not appear as pictured.
Please Note: Due to New York health regulations DNA samples cannot be collected and tests cannot be mailed from inside the State of New York. Click here for Details
Do you need a second kit sent to a separate address? Do you need us to split a test kit more than two ways?
If you have a family member in another city or state participating in the DNA test we can send an additional test kit to them to complete. Select this option with your order and we send an additional DNA sample collection kit to a second or third address.
Contact us and we can have this option added multiple times for each person/address needed to be included in the test.
*This is not a stand alone test. This is a shipping option to split your DNA Test Kit and must be purchased with a DNA test*
This add-on is non-refundable.
