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 Sanford, FL
Unmarried parents from Sanford, Florida, can establish paternity in two ways:
In many cases, parents sign the Paternity Acknowledgment form at the hospital once the baby is born in the presence of a notary public. The hospital then sends the form to the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics, and the man will become the legal father.
Sometimes, parents may disagree, not communicate with one another, or have other reasons why they do not want to sign the acknowledgment. In these cases, they may decide to go to court and let the judge decide about paternity instead.
For those seeking DNA testing services, whether for legal reasons or personal clarity, Health Street offers reliable DNA testing services. We provide legal paternity tests with high accuracy and fast turnaround time. Our DNA tests are non-invasive and highly accurate.

Sanford, Florida: Benefits of establishing paternity
If parents are not married when their child is born, and they do not establish paternity, their child may be missing out on multiple benefits, such as:
Without established paternity, the father has no legal obligations or rights concerning the child. This absence of a legal bond means he's not required to provide child support and cannot seek custody or visitation rights. Establishing paternity legally solidifies the father's role and responsibilities, offering substantial support and security for the child's future.
