99.9999% accuracy guaranteed!
Our Informational Forensic Paternity DNA Test using special samples, such as blood samples, 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.
Please note that Forensic Relationship Test cannot be done as a legal test due to chain of custody, if needed for a court case please consult an attorney.
When ordered we will send you a kit with instructions on how to care for the forensic or Special Samples* (see instructions below), oral swabs (if selected) and instructions on how to gather any additional oral swab samples needed (in cases where the blood or special sample is being tested against anothers’ DNA in which there is not a blood or special sample for), and a prepaid envelope to return the samples to our lab.
Please be aware that due to the nature of forensic testing a conclusive result is not guaranteed. An inconclusive result can be due to many factors. The sample can be too degraded to produce a profile, the sample can be contaminated and a DNA profile cannot be found, there may be no DNA found on the sample, etc. These, and many unlisted reasons, are not grounds for a retest or refund. Please see our Refund Policy for more info.
Our standard Forensic Paternity 2 Person DNA Test includes testing for:
1 Child
1 Father
Our laboratory is fully accredited and ISO certified and we test for 23 STR loci including gender ID markers to ensure the highest quality and accuracy of all DNA results.

the order number (this will be on your order confirmation),
a brief description of the item,
date of the collection,
approximate age of the sample.

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.
