Test Me DNA offers everything needed to get legal paternity results and testing for one low price. With other companies, they require you to do the work and find a collector or they tack on more to the pricing for the collection. The collection and proper chain of custody are some of the biggest concerns for court admissible DNA tests.

Not only do they add additional fees for using their collection services, but they also do not schedule immediately during your initial setup. With Test Me DNA and our partnership with Labcorp, we can typically schedule appointments the same day or within a few business days. While we have you on the phone, we look at the availability at your chosen location and get the best time booked right then and there.

On the rare occurrence we can not provide a Labcorp DNA collection site in your area, we can work with a list of certified collectors that can perform the collection for a small fee.

While other companies only allow one person to receive results and charge additional fees for contacts. They may also tack additional costs to provide you with mailed copies. In most courts, it is required that the original documents be presented, which can only be received by mail.
At Test Me DNA we are committed to provide you with the most accurate results as quickly as possible. Once results are completed, a representative in our office will immediately reach out to you via phone to discuss those results. A email with results will also be provided to you, with the mailed original results reaching you a short time after.

Our partner laboratory LabCorp is one of the very few DNA testing laboratories accredited by the AABB. The AABB’s Relationship DNA Testing Accreditation program is considered the gold standard for DNA testing laboratories. To ensure that all tests are conducted with the highest standard of accuracy, accredited laboratories must pass rigorous reviews and inspections. Only accredited DNA tests are admissible in the court of law.

Personal Knowledge Paternity tests including home paternity tests cannot be used as official proof of a family relationship for court proceedings. Although our home testing kits are just as accurate as our legal testing, the collection is not performed under the strict chain of custody required for evidence in the court of law. The laboratory simply tests the samples received and compares the DNA profiles to get results. Since the the collections were performed by the individuals testing, there is no way to verify who was actually collected for the test. For this reason, if you believe you will need to present the DNA results for court purposes, then we suggest using the legal DNA test.
