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.

Establishing paternity in North Miami

Parents in North Miami, Florida who have a child outside of marriage need to officially determine who the father is. This is called establishing paternity. Here's why and how to do it:

Ways to Establish Paternity in North Miami:

  1. Sign a form at the hospital: Right after a baby is born, both parents can sign a form called the Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP). Only sign if you're 100% sure because establishing paternity is a legal commitment.
  2. Go to court: If there's a question about who the father is, a judge can decide. The judge might ask for a DNA test, and can also decide on visitation, custody, and child support.
