Gender Reveal & Paternity DNA Testing Near You

In a primal, mechanical sense, your DNA makes you who you are. You have a right to know what you’re made of, and understand how your body works at its most basic level.

How Much is a DNA Test in Maryland?

The cost of your DNA test can vary greatly depending on the type of test and the reason for the test being performed. Legal tests that qualify as court-admissible evidence generally cost more because they follow more stringent testing requirements determined by the United States federal government and the State of Maryland.

Most ARCpoint Labs DNA tests deliver results within a week, and often within that very same day. At our DNA testing clinic in Waldorf, we offer $259 for non-legal testing for your own peace of mind or curiosity, and $375 for legal DNA testing that's usable in a courtroom.

How Long Does a Father Have to Establish Paternity in the State of Maryland?

Legal parentage in the State of Maryland is established either through court mandate or a document known as an Affidavit of Parentage form, which is usually signed in the hospital right after your baby is born.

Before signing an Affidavit of Parentage, the father has a right to request a DNA test or seek legal counsel from an attorney. At that point, the Child Support Administration (a branch of the Maryland Department of Human Services) can answer questions and request that the alleged parents appear for genetic testing.

Determining paternity is often a messy, difficult, and painful process to navigate, for all parties involved. No matter what the situation is, ARCpoint Labs of Maryland are here to be your advocates.

At ARCpoint Labs of Waldorf, you'll be heard, respected, and supported. Call (301) 234-7174 or contact us online to learn more about our DNA testing near you.
