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

Importance of Establishing Paternity in Vallejo, CA
When a Vallejo child is born to two unmarried parents, only the mother will possess parental rights and responsibilities as the state of California will not legally identify the father without the presence of marriage. By establishing legal paternity, a set of Vallejo parents can legally identify the biological father, thus granting him rights over the child and the ability to seek custody or child support.
In addition to providing parental rights to the father, establishing paternity is also important as it provides the child with benefits from both parent parties. Such benefits include but are not limited to social security, military, and inheritance. Bear in mind that establishing paternity creates a legal bind between the child and father, and parents should only move forward if there is full confidence in a child's paternity or if DNA paternity testing has been used to determine the biological father.
Paternity Programs in Vallejo, CA
To help streamline the paternity establishment process for Vallejo residents, unmarried parents can complete the process through the Parentage Opportunity Program (POP). This completely voluntary program offers parents a way to easily establish paternity free of charge by signing a Voluntary Declaration of Paternity (VDOP) following the birth of their child. A VDOP can be completed in front of a witnessing agency such as the Solano County Child Support Services of the Vital Statistics Office.
Paternity will be established once properly submitted, creating the opportunity for either parent to seek child support services as well as establish a child custody and/or visitation agreement. As previously mentioned, parents should only establish paternity once they've gained full confidence in a child's paternity using DNA testing to avoid any legal complications at a later time.
Experts in Vallejo, CA Say…
After paternity has been properly established, a Vallejo parent is entitled to seek monthly child support services. According to Vallejo family law attorney Albert M. Lavezzo, California law follows the belief that a child has the right to financial support from both parents. In the event that a child lives solely with one parent, the state of California will require the noncustodial parent to pay monthly child support.
