There are three paternity testing options:

• Information Paternity – This test doesn’t require an ID and is not court-admissible. It requires a simple cheek swab and is designed to give clients peace of mind.
• Legal Paternity – This test requires a valid government-issued ID. We’ll provide clients with legal documentation of the results. If the father is deceased, we can test grandparents, aunts and uncles, or siblings. This test is typically used for:
  • Custody cases
  • Immigration
  • Estate settlements
  • Social Security benefits
  • Court orders
• Prenatal Paternity – This safe and non-invasive blood test is for mothers who are at least nine weeks pregnant.

How Accurate Is DNA Testing for Paternity?

Modern DNA tests are extremely accurate. In fact, the accuracy of correctly administered and analyzed test is above 99%.

For prenatal DNA tests, the accuracy ranges from 98% to 99.9%, depending on the type of test.

Why Modern DNA Testing Is More Common Than Blood Testing for Paternity

Blood testing for paternity was the primary method up until the advent of PCR DNA testing in the 1980s/1990s. Blood testing is no longer as common because, with PCR testing, a buccal cheek swab can provide a sufficient sample.
