What is required
Contact ARCpoint Labs of New Braunfels to discuss the next steps for immigration testing. We want to ensure you have the proper paperwork required for testing to be conducted. For an immigration test to be legally binding, a non-interested party needs to collect the sample. Each adult participant must provide a copy of a valid government-issued photo ID. For children under the age of 18, a parent, guardian, or conservator must sign for the child.
