FAQs for 2008

Safely and easily collect the DNA sample in the privacy of your own home. After sample collection, simply send the samples back to our laboratory using the return packaging provided in the testing kit. Results are available in just 3 to 5 working days from the day that we receive your samples.

Does the mother need to be tested?

Testing the mother is optional. In most cases, the mother already knows that she is the mother, so there is no need to test her. Conclusive results can be obtained by testing only the child and alleged father.

What is the turnaround time of a DNA paternity test?

Test results are usually available in 3 to 5 working days.

How do I get my results?

A copy of the Results Report will be delivered to you once the test is complete. You can choose to have the results sent by mail, email, or both. You can also check the status of your test online and receive results securely and discreetly using your Case # and password.

Is the home test kit easy to use?

The home test kit is quick and simple to use and contains fully illustrated instructions. The kit contains everything you need to collect the sample quickly and discreetly from the privacy of your own home. The sample is collected by rubbing swabs gently inside the mouth for 10 seconds. After the collection, the swabs are placed into the specimen containers provided in the kit and mailed back to the laboratory using the pre-addressed envelope provided in the kit. Once the laboratory receives your samples, testing begins immediately and the results are available in 3 to 5 working days. The results will indicate conclusively whether the tested man is the true biological father of the child.

What if I need to use the results for court?

The private home kit is intended for individuals who need to determine the truth about paternity before taking the next step. If you need to use the results in court, you should choose the $230 Court Admissible DNA Kit, or the $330 Legal DNA Test. The main difference between the private test and the court recognized test is the witnessing of the collection. For results to be accepted in court, the collection process must be witnessed and verified by an unbiased witness. The Court Admissible Home Kit contains all required witnessing documents. The Legal DNA Test includes a lab appointment for witnessing by our laboratory staff. Both are acceptable for use in court.

Special Situations
Split Kit
If the parties to be tested live in different cities, provide the name and address of both parties in the comments box and the kit will be split and sent to two addresses. The kits have the same barcodes, so you can take the test separately and mail them back to the laboratory separately. Once the kits are received, they are tested together.
Legal Testing GuaranteeLegal Testing Guarantee
The private test is the best solution for those who need to find out the truth about paternity before deciding on the next step. If, after you receive the results of your private test, decide that you need the legal test, the full cost of the private test will be deducted from the legal testing cost, so you don't need to pay twice!
