Legal Paternity Test

AABB Accredited Proof Of Paternity

A legal paternity test is a scientific way to confirm if a child is truly related to their suspected father. When there are doubts about a father’s identity, whether for legal, personal, or emotional reasons, a legal paternity DNA test gives accurate answers.

To make sure your legal DNA results are accepted for your paternity case or any legal needs, they have to meet two important rules. First, the lab doing the test must be accredited by AABB. Secondly, the way the samples are treated must follow strict rules.

Some companies try to give you cheap legal DNA tests. They let you choose who collects the samples and mail you the kit. But this goes against AABB rules. People linked to court-approved tests shouldn’t touch the kit. Be cautious, as this might cost your family more. We only send kits to our trained DNA centers or medical spots, like a doctor’s office or clinic. This stops issues from happening.

We stick to all AABB rules and court orders, so your results can be accepted. Your case is treated with care, professionalism, and kept private. Understanding the value of these results, we’re here to support you. Getting the right answers for your legal situation is what matters most to us.

Legal Paternity Test or At-Home Paternity Test

The results you get from our home paternity test and our legal DNA test are identical. We promise they’re a 100% accurate “yes” or “no” answer about fatherhood. The difference is how you can use the results. For all legal DNA testing, the collection of DNA swabs must be done by an authorized person. This person can’t have any stake in the test outcomes and can’t be your friends or family.

We partner with more than 3,500 skilled collectors. Getting an appointment set up is usually fast, and you just need to attend it. If you’re an adult, show your government-issued photo ID. For anyone under 18-years-old, a photo will be taken to confirm who took the test.

Here is an easy way to remember the difference,
