Paternity Testing can be performed at our testing centers. DNA Testing can be done for other close family relationships, such as:
Specimens we can test for DNA
The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the people being tested. These skin cells are known as buccal cells, and they rub off easily onto cotton swabs and remain in place for analysis by our laboratory. Other specimen samples, such as hair follicles, fingernails, and garments that might contain someone's DNA, can also be tested. An Alternative Specimen DNA Test is done by registering online and shipping the specimens to us.
Legally Admissible DNA Tests vs. "Peace of Mind" At-Home Tests
A Legal Paternity Test is a court admissible DNA testing service. Accurate results for DNA paternity testing with 99.99% confidence or greater take about a week.
When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results. In order for the results of a DNA test to hold up in court, for child support, or to change the name on a birth certificate, the test must be done at a clinic using strict chain of custody procedures. Our Bellevue DNA testing technicians are trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for legal purposes.

Establishing paternity in Bellevue, NE
In Bellevue, Nebraska, unmarried fathers looking to establish their rights and responsibilities towards their children must establish paternity. Paternity gives the child a legal father and can provide benefits for all parties involved.
The easiest way of establishing paternity in Bellevue is by signing the Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP) at the hospital once the baby is born. When both parents sign the document, they need to ensure it is notarized, and then they need to file it with DHHS Vital Records Management to become official. Hospital staff are usually able to assist with this process. However, if there are any doubts or disagreements about paternity, it is important not to sign an AOP. Remember that it is a legally binding document with the same effect as a court order.
Alternatively, some people establish paternity through court proceedings. This usually happens in cases where either parent disagrees with paternity, or if one party is not cooperative. When the court is involved, the judge often orders genetic testing, a reliable and quick method of proving whether the alleged father is related to the child. If the judge establishes paternity, other matters like custody, visitation, or child support can also be established.
