Our Legal Paternity
Testing service is for those people who expect Paternity Test Results to be used
for legal purpose and need results that are strongly supported in a court of
law. Complete chain of custody is established and maintained throughout the
process. The service is offered through an AABB
and CLIA certified laboratory. A Notarized
paternity test results report is provided within 2 weeks.
To established Chain of Custody, individuals being tested are
required to go to a specimen collection facility at a location near them. The
specimens are collected at these collection facilities and sent directly to our
laboratory. These facilities collect buccal swab or blood samples, take pictures
and or finger prints of the individuals being tested. In metro Atlanta, Georgia,
we collect specimens at our laboratory.
To initiate the process of Legal Paternity Testing please
call the toll free number below or submit the online Order
Form. Once the process is initiated by you, a $150
nor-refundable deposit is
required to schedule an appointment for specimen collection at a location
near you, this process takes about 24 hour. Appointments are scheduled
3-5 business days in advance. There is no charge for specimen collection
if collected in our laboratory in Atlanta, Georgia. However, there will be
an additional charge of $30-$50 per individual if performed by any other
facility near you. The fee is paid in advance by
you or DTP, to the collection facility. The deposit is
applied towards the total fee of testing.
Once the appointment is scheduled, we will send the
specimen collection kit with complete instructions and necessary forms
directly to the facility. The collection facility will take pictures and
finger prints of the individuals being tested. This is done to establish
chain of custody and proper identification of the individuals being
tested. All adults being tested should bring a valid Photo
ID with them to the collection facility, Birth
Certificates are required for children who do not have photo
IDs.
The samples are sent directly to the laboratory by the
collection facility for paternity testing. The remaining fee is due before
the testing begins. The results are provided within 2 weeks from when we
receive the samples in our laboratory. Results are provided per your
request, either via mail, e-mail, telephone and facsimile. The results are
guaranteed to indicate either a probability of paternity greater than 99.99%
(Inclusion, fatherhood confirmed) or 0%
