DNA Paternity Test

If the test participants reside in different cities or states, we offer the option to split the DNA test kit and send the components to different addresses. Our laboratory will process the samples once they arrive at the lab, and each kit component is individually barcoded to ensure accuracy.

To request a split kit, you can provide the following information in the “Additional Information” section during checkout:

“Please send the alleged father’s kit to <Alleged father’s name and shipping address>, and send the child’s kit to <Child’s name and shipping address>.”

If the alleged father is unavailable for testing, you can explore alternative options such as a DNA grandparent test, DNA sibling test, DNA aunt/uncle test, or DNA cousin test to establish biological relationships. It’s important to understand that while these tests can be useful for confirming relationships, they may not be as conclusive as a DNA paternity test when it comes to determining paternity. If the alleged father is accessible for testing, it is advisable to prioritize the DNA paternity test over other relationship tests.

If you have any questions or need guidance on selecting the appropriate test for your specific situation, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Customer Support Team. Our team is dedicated to assisting you in navigating the testing process and providing the information necessary for informed decisions.

No, there is no age limit for paternity testing. This test can be conducted on individuals of any age, including newborns, children, and adults. You have the option to perform the paternity test as soon as the child is born or at any later point in their life.

If you require a DNA paternity test for legal purposes, such as child custody, child support, immigration, or inheritance claims, you will need to opt for a legal paternity test. The at-home paternity test kit is not intended for legal use, as it does not adhere to the rigorous chain of custody procedures necessary for legal admissibility.

Legal paternity tests involve sample collection that is supervised by an impartial third party. To learn more about legal paternity testing and initiate the process, you can click here for further information.

1. Private Paternity Test:
   • Sample collection is done discreetly, usually in the comfort of your home.
   • It does not involve the same formalities as a legal test.
   • Results are provided to you for personal information and are not typically used for legal purposes.
2. Legal Paternity Test:
   • Sample collection follows strict chain-of-custody procedures.
   • You must attend an appointment with an impartial third party for sample collection.
   • You may be required to provide a passport photograph and two government-issued IDs during the appointment.
   • Fingerprinting may be conducted to establish identity.
   • The results of a legal paternity test are legally admissible documents that can be used in court for various legal matters.

Both private and legal paternity tests offer equally accurate results. The choice between them depends on your specific needs and whether the results will be used for legal purposes.

The test kits have no expiration date, allowing you to use them whenever you choose. However, after collecting the samples, it’s crucial to send them for testing within three months. Before sealing the specimen envelope, ensure the samples are thoroughly dry. When kept dry, the samples can remain viable for at least three months or longer at room temperature.

The results of a paternity test are typically presented in one of two scenarios, depending on the analysis of the DNA samples provided:

1. If the alleged father is not the biological father, the test report will show a probability of paternity of 0%.
2. If the alleged father is indeed the biological father, the test report will demonstrate a probability of paternity exceeding 99.999%.
