A prenatal paternity test is available as early as 10-12 weeks. In some cases, expectant mothers undergo a prenatal sample procedure, such as amniocentesis or CVS (chorionic villus sampling) when consulting their physician or genetic counselor. Our DNA paternity testing lab can use the same samples obtained from these procedures for early and prenatal DNA paternity testing. A paternity test with prenatal samples takes approximately 5 business days.

4. Send the DNA Samples to IDENTIGENE

Choose how your prenatal paternity test results are reported. Access your DNA paternity test results online using the email address and results password you provided on the order form. You can also access your paternity test results over the phone (password required) and/or have a hard copy of the paternity test results mailed directly to you, an attorney, court officer or social worker.

NOTE: Because prenatal sample collection poses significant risk to both mother and baby, IDENTIGENE does not recommend these procedures when paternity is the only question. Please consult your physician or genetic counselor for professional advice regarding prenatal sample collection.

Legal Paternity Tests - Court-Admissible Paternity Test Results

Prenatal samples can also be used in DNA paternity tests for legal purposes. The physician collects the prenatal sample and sends the sample directly to the laboratory using our Chain-of-Custody Form for prenatal samples. DNA samples from mother and alleged father are collected at one of our nationwide collection sites. See our Legal Paternity Testing page for more information regarding legal paternity tests.

For legal DNA testing

We will arrange DNA collection appointments and send legal paternity test results to you, your attorney or court officer.
