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 alleged father and child or children. 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 ordering one of our testing kits online and shipping the specimens back to us.
Legal DNA Tests vs. "Peace of Mind" At-Home Tests

When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results.

Our Bountiful DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

Bountiful, UT - DNA Testing
Experts Say...
Attorneys at Diumenti & Leger in Bountiful explain why it's important to establish paternity. "Establishing paternity can be critical to enforcing a father's right to custody and parent time, as well as establishing and enforcing the obligation to pay child support," the attorneys said. "Establishing parentage can be critical to enforcing a child's rights to inheritance as well as Social Security, veteran's benefits, and other government benefits." The law firm added, "A child's citizenship can be affected depending upon parentage, and establishing paternity can be critical for children to know their family medical history."
Establishing Paternity in Bountiful, UT
Married parents in Bountiful, UT establish paternity automatically when having a child. However, unmarried parents must establish paternity for their child to have a legal father. The easiest way to establish paternity in Bountiful is by signing a Voluntary Declaration of Paternity, a voluntary legal form stating the child's father. Parents can sign the form at the hospital when the child is born or later at the Davis County Office of Vital Records and Statistics. They can sign the form any time after the child's birth. If the parents cannot agree to establish paternity voluntarily, they can begin the administrative or court process.
Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Bountiful, UT
If either parent questions paternity, they should not sign the Voluntary Declaration of Paternity or establish paternity in any way until obtaining a DNA test to determine the child's legal father. Parents do not need a court order for a DNA test if both parents are willing to take the test voluntarily. DNA testing can determine if a man is the child's father. If a parent does not agree to a DNA test, the other parent can file a Motion for Genetic Testing through the court.
