DNA Paternity Testing - Court-Admissible Test Results

Court-Admissible paternity test results provide strong evidence for many types of court cases, including divorce (child custody or child support), immigration or visa applications, and estate settlement or inheritance cases.

IDENTIGENE maintains laboratory accreditations for DNA paternity testing with the AABB and L-A-B. This means that all IDENTIGENE paternity test results are accurate, reliable, and meet accreditation standards. Court-admissible paternity tests require special collection requirements to verify the identities of all participants. Court-admissible DNA paternity test sample collections are witnessed by a disinterested third party.

   At the collection appointment, each person provides proof of identity. The collector obtains DNA samples from each participan in the legal paternity test, using the safe and effective cheek swabs provided by IDENTIGENE. The collector sends the samples directly to our paternity testing lab.

DNA Collection Network

IDENTIGENE partners with a nationwide network of DNA specimen collectors. The DNA collector documents proof of identity for each person in the legal paternity test using photographs, driver's licenses, birth certificates, or passports, on the DNA Chain-of-Custody form. The collector witnesses the DNA sample collection from each legal paternity test participant. The collector seals the DNA specimens and Chain-of-Custody paperwork in a tamper-proof envelope and sends it directly to our DNA paternity testing laboratory. This process tracks your samples from the time of collection all the way through DNA paternity testing.

Call IDENTIGENE at 888-404-GENE (888-404-4363) to order or for more information.
