Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a home DNA paternity test take to receive results?
The turnaround time for results is two to three business days from the date the lab receives all DNA samples.
Upon completion of your results, your assigned DNA caseworker will contact you to provide a verbal update on the status of your results. A copy of your results will be sent to you by physical mail, and an additional copy will be sent to you by email. Thank you.
Are home paternity DNA tests accurate?
Yes. At-Home Paternity DNA Testing is highly accurate because the laboratory compares specific alleles inherited from biological parents. When DNA samples are properly collected, stored, and submitted to our partner laboratory, the lab will perform a reliable DNA comparative analysis between an alleged father and child.
Our partner laboratory typically analyzes between 18 and 22 genetic markers during the paternity testing process to determine the probability of a biological relationship. In paternity inclusion cases, the probability of paternity is commonly reported as 99.99% or higher.
Can my results be used for legal purposes?
No. Home paternity DNA tests are for informational use only and cannot be used legally.
Can DNA testing be performed if both parties live in two different cities?
Yes. A DNA test kit can be shipped to two different locations. Click here to purchase a home paternity test kit online here.
What is the difference between a Home Paternity DNA Test and a Legal Paternity DNA Test?
A Home Paternity DNA Test is a non-legal testing option used for informational purposes only. This option does not require an established chain of custody, which is necessary for a Legal Paternity Test.
A Legal Paternity Test requires an established chain of custody and DNA sample collection by an unbiased third-party collector. All DNA samples are tested and analyzed by our partner AABB-accredited laboratory.
Will my information be kept private?
Your information will remain private. The lab does not share data collected for DNA analysis with third-party companies. DNA samples are stored for an average of three months before destruction. Data may be shared only by court order but not before the client is notified.
