Legal or informational?
The purpose of the test shapes the process.
Legal testing
Designed for a legal process. It uses participant identification, documented collection, and chain-of-custody procedures so the result can be handled as part of the appropriate legal matter.
Informational testing
Designed for personal understanding. It can help a family explore a relationship question, but it is not intended to meet legal-use requirements.
Participants and documentation
Know who needs to be there.
Participants depend on the relationship being tested. Before an appointment, confirm the child, alleged parent, sibling, grandparent, or other participants requested for the test.
For legal testing, participants should be prepared to provide valid identification and complete the required collection documentation. We will explain the request-specific details before collection.
Collection may be coordinated in-office, mobile, or on-site when appropriate. Legal testing follows documented chain-of-custody steps from identification through result delivery.
Attorney FAQ
Plan the testing conversation.
What is the difference between legal and informational DNA testing?
Legal testing includes identity verification, documented collection, and chain-of-custody steps for situations where the result may be used in a legal process. Informational testing is intended for personal understanding and is not designed for court use.
Who needs to participate in a legal test?
The required participants depend on the relationship being tested. The participant list, identification requirements, and any paperwork should be confirmed before collection.
What identification or documentation is needed?
Legal collections generally require valid identification and documentation connected to each participant. We will explain what to bring for the request being coordinated.
Can an attorney coordinate testing for a client?
Yes. Family law attorneys can contact us to discuss the relationship being tested, legal-use requirements, participants, collection logistics, and result delivery.
How are results delivered?
Results are handled confidentially and delivered through the agreed process to the appropriate recipient or authorized contact.
