What is DNA? Everyone is born with a unique genetic blueprint known as DNA
(Deoxyribonucleic Acid). Because DNA is passed down from the
mother and father to a child, DNA identification provides a
conclusive way to determine biological relationships.
Who needs to be tested? The Mother, the Child and the Alleged
Father. ACCURATE DNA TESTING can accurately test without the
Mother's sample, but this requires additional analysis and may take
a few days longer to complete.
What kind of DNA samples are needed? ACCURATE DNA TESTING prefers
to use a cheek swab sample since it is completely non-invasive,
painless, and just as accurate as blood samples.
How accurate are the tests? If the DNA of the Alleged Father and Child matches,
the probability that he is the biological father is typically over
99.999%. If there are mismatches between the DNA of the Alleged
Father and Child, he is 100% excluded from being the biological
father.
What if the testing parties live in different
cities? ACCURATE
DNA TESTING will arrange for all parties' samples to be
collected in their respective cities at no additional charge. All
samples will be coordinated as one case when they arrive at the
laboratory.
Do I need a doctor's order to have a paternity test
performed? No, A
doctor's order is not required for you to have a paternity test.
How long does it take to get results? Once the lab receives all the
samples, it typically takes 3-5 calendar days to complete the test.
Next-Day and 2-Day RUSH tests are also available. Once the
test is completed, a report is mailed or faxed to the tested
parties.
Can I use the DNA test results in court? Yes, as long as you choose a legally
binding test where your samples are collected by an impartial
third-party and follows the proper chain of custody. The report is a
legal document that proves paternity or non-paternity.
Do tests have to be paid for all at
once? No, ACCURATE
DNA TESTING allows you to submit samples provided that the
collection fee is paid at the time of collection along with a
minimum down payment of half the balance. You must pay the balance
within six (6) months of collection. However, testing will not begin
until the test has been paid in full. We recommend having your test
performed as soon as financially possible so you can bring Peace
of Mind to all parties involved.
What forms of payment does ACCURATE DNA TESTING
accept? You may pay
with a cashier's check or money order, payable to ACCURATE DNA
TESTING. If you visit our office, you may pay with cash. If you
pay with a personal check, your results will be held until the check
clears. You may also pay with a Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or
American Express credit card.
Can I get the test done before the baby is
born? Yes. However,
the test is more expensive prenatally and does involve medical
risk. The mother must have an obstetrical procedure (amniocentesis
or CVS) to obtain a sample on the fetus. ACCURATE DNA TESTING
will coordinate your obstetrical procedure with a qualified
Obstetrician in your area at no additional charge.
