Types of DNA Tests at our Fargo, North Dakota locations:

child.

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 Fargo DNA testing technicians are
trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for
legal purposes.

Presumed paternity – if parents are married or divorced but the baby is born a maximum of 300 days after they terminated the marriage, the husband is the legal father

Voluntary Paternity Acknowledgment (VPA) – if parents are not married, but they have zero doubts about paternity, they can sign this form and the father's name will be on the child's birth certificate

DNA test – sometimes, the mother or the alleged father is unsure about who the biological father is, so they can do a DNA test to prove it. However, further action is necessary to establish paternity fully, and that can be either VPA or a court order

Court Adjudication – when parents do not cooperate or are unsure about paternity, they can go to court, and the judge will establish paternity. A court order often involves DNA testing of the alleged father and the baby as well to prove paternity
