New Mexico Approved Sibling DNA Test
(includes DNA kit, free rush shipping both ways, lab processing for 2 siblings, 100% accurate results )
The principle of this category of DNA testing is to detect paternity (in most cases) when the alledged biological father is not able to submit a specimen for DNA testing. It is also generally when the mother is not positive and does not want to collect the father’s DNA. Each state has various laws regarding paternity, and what tests are permitted. If you want to learn more about the paternity laws in New Mexico please go to PATERNITY LAWS.
A Home Sibling Test Kit In New Mexico Has No Restrictions, Unlike Some Other States.
A DNA sibling test can be completed for either personal knowledge, or for court or other other legal reasons. There is no difference in the findings in New Mexico, due to the strict policies used by our partner AABB accredited laboratory. DNA reports from home kits may not be endorsed for use in a judicial setting however, because there is no unbiased proof of whose DNA was taken. When a chain-of-custody DNA test is completed, the DNA samples are collected by a experienced professional collector who can verify the identity of those being tested. Most of the time when a paternity test with siblings is done, it is for confidential verification. A legal sibling test will be needed, however, if you want to change a name on the birth certificate, apply for Social Security benefits for a child, have a estate issue, or for immigration reasons. It also may be of interest to know that the I.R.S. has been requiring some people to verify their dependents by the use of DNA testing.
Know The Difference Between A Half-Sibling Test And A Full-Sibling Test.
A full-sibling test provides evidence whether two individuals are bioligically related with the same mother AND father. A negative result will show that those testing are half-siblings. This is because the testing is done with the knowledge that it is known that one parent is shared by both individuals. When taking the full-sibling test, you should let us know which one of the parents you are certain you have in common (the mother or the father) and which of the parent you are uncertain about.
A half-sibling DNA test allows you to determine, if two possible siblings have a biological father or mother in common, or if they are not genetically related to each other as siblings. A half-sibling DNA test will not be able to answer the question if those testing are a full-siblings. When taking the half-sibling test, you must always state which one of the parents you are sure you do not have in common, the father or the mother, and which of the parents you might have in common.
How Is The DNA Collected?
