What Is a Home Paternity DNA Test?
A home paternity test compares the DNA of an alleged father and a child to determine the probability of paternity. Testing is performed using advanced DNA analysis and evaluates 23 or more genetic markers to deliver highly reliable results.
Home paternity testing is intended for personal knowledge only and is not legally admissible. If you need results for court or legal purposes, a legal chain-of-custody test is required.

FAQ About At-Home Paternity DNA Tests
-
Results from a home paternity test cannot be used as proof of paternity for legal reasons such as child support, custody, Social Security, etc. At-home results cannot be used because the DNA sample is collected by the test participants themselves. This means chain-of-custody protocol cannot be followed, and identities of tested parties cannot be independently verified.
-
Yes. Results for a home paternity test are just as accurate as they are for a legal paternity test. In fact, once DNA samples arrive at the lab, the process for testing is exactly the same for a home test as it is for a legal one. You can be certain your results for a home paternity test are accurate for the samples we are provided, but remember the results are just for peace of mind and personal knowledge only. If you need results for court or think you may in the future, call us.
-
Cheek-swab samples are not the same as saliva samples, so we recommend that customers swab for a full 30 seconds per swab while ensuring they avoid the saliva-rich gum areas.
If samples seem “too wet” once swabbing is complete, just wave the swab in the air for 1-2 minutes to air dry prior placing it in the paper sample envelope.
-
Participant names on the report are labeled based on the information provided by the client. While this information is not independently verified, we understand its importance and will include any names requested on the final report.
-
Cheek swab samples are the industry standard for an at-home paternity test. Cheek swabs make DNA extraction by our laboratory’s professionals standardized and easy, which is one way to keep costs lower for our customers.
For Non-Standard samples, anything that is not an oral cheek swab, please see our Forensic Paternity Test page.If you have any questions regarding sample viability, reach out to one of our DNA experts.
