A court-admissible DNA test between an alleged father and child, collected under witnessed chain-of-custody. Trusted for child support, custody, immigration and birth certificate matters. Results usually 2–5 business days after the lab receives the samples.

A legal paternity test confirms — or rules out — whether a man is the biological father of a child, with results that hold up in court. Because it may be used for child support, custody, immigration or amending a birth certificate, samples are collected by a neutral third party at a test center, with each person's ID verified and documented at every step. That witnessed chain-of-custody is what makes the result legally admissible.

Included Tests

Legal 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 under documented chain-of-custody so the result is court-admissible.

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.
⚖️
Legal admissibility. Witnessed collection and a documented chain-of-custody make the signed result acceptable to courts and government agencies.
🪪
Verified identities. Each participant's ID is checked and recorded at the test center, so there's no question about whose DNA was tested.
📋
How it's collected. A trained professional collects a quick, painless cheek (buccal) swab from each person — no needles, no blood draw.

When to Get Tested

Any time you need to confirm paternity for legal or personal reasons. A child can be tested at any age, including newborns, and testing can also be arranged before birth. If your matter is time-sensitive — a court date or a filing deadline — schedule the witnessed collection as early as you can.

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. Because the collection was witnessed under chain-of-custody, the signed report can be submitted to courts, attorneys and government agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these results hold up in court?
Yes. This is a legal test collected under a documented chain-of-custody — each person's identity is verified and the samples are handled by neutral staff at a test center. That process is what makes the result admissible for child support, custody, immigration and birth certificate matters.
How accurate is a paternity test?
Extremely accurate. An inclusion typically reports a probability of paternity of 99.99% or higher, and an exclusion is reported as 0%. The DNA comparison is definitive.
How does the collection work?
You and the child visit a test center, where staff verify each person's ID (a driver's license, state ID or similar) and collect a quick cheek swab from each of you. It's painless and takes just a few minutes. The mother does not need to participate, though including her can add certainty.
Does the alleged father and child have to go together?
No. Each participant can be collected separately at a convenient time — the chain-of-custody is maintained no matter when or where each sample is taken.
Is this billed to insurance?
No — you pay directly here, and nothing is billed to insurance. Your results go only to your secure account.
