2 Party In-Lab DNA Test

A professionally collected paternity test between an alleged father and child for your own peace of mind. Exactly as accurate as a legal test, just not court-admissible. Results usually 2–5 business days after the lab receives the samples.

Sometimes you just want to know, not for a court, but for yourself and your family. This in-lab paternity test compares the DNA of an alleged father and child using the same technology and the same accuracy as our legal test. The difference is simple: because it's collected for personal knowledge rather than a documented chain-of-custody, the result is for your peace of mind and can't be used in court.

Included Tests

In-Lab Paternity DNA Analysis (Alleged Father & Child)
Compares DNA from the alleged father and the child across a wide panel of genetic markers to determine the probability of paternity. Collected by a professional at a test center for personal, non-legal use.

What This Panel Measures

🧬
Probability of paternity. Reports the likelihood the alleged father is the biological father: typically 99.99% or higher for an inclusion, or 0% for an exclusion.
🔒
For your knowledge. The same accuracy as our legal test, collected privately for personal peace of mind rather than for court or legal filings.
📋
How it's collected. A trained professional collects a quick, painless cheek (buccal) swab from each person at the test center (no needles, no blood draw).

Who Should Get This Panel

  • You want to confirm paternity for your own peace of mind, not for a legal matter
  • You'd prefer a professional collection rather than an at-home kit
  • You and the other participant simply want a private, definitive answer
  • You may not need a court-admissible result but want lab-grade accuracy

When to Get Tested

Any time you want a private, definitive answer about paternity. A child can be tested at any age, including newborns. If you think the result might later be needed for court, child support or immigration, choose the legal (chain-of-custody) test instead, since a peace-of-mind result can't be converted afterward.

Understanding Your Results

Results post to your secure online account, usually 2–5 business days after the lab receives both samples. A probability of paternity of 99.99% or higher means the alleged father is the biological father; a result of 0% rules him out. These results are for personal knowledge only and are not admissible in court.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this test as accurate as the legal version?
Yes, identical accuracy. An inclusion typically reports 99.99% or higher and an exclusion is 0%. The only difference is that this test isn't collected under chain-of-custody, so it's for personal knowledge rather than legal use.
Can I use these results in court?
No. Because the collection isn't witnessed under a documented chain-of-custody, the result is for peace of mind only. If you may need it for child support, custody or immigration, choose our Legal Paternity Test instead.
How does the collection work?
You and the child visit a test center, where staff collect a quick, painless cheek swab from each of you. It takes just a few minutes and the mother does not need to participate.
Is this billed to insurance?
No. You pay directly here, and nothing is billed to insurance. Your results go only to your secure account.
