How long does DNA testing take?
Results for DNA Paternity testing are ready in 5 7 business days from receipt of samples at the laboratory. A shorter turnaround time of 3 working days can be arranged for an additional charge. All samples are shipped overnight express. Do I need a Doctor’s or lawyer’s order to get a paternity test? No, most of our clients order paternity testing directly from the site. Keep in mind that for the fully accredited version of the test, a legal guardian must sign for any minor children, under the age of 18. If you want us to communicate with any involved relatives, doctors, or attorneys, you must authorize us to do so at the time of collection. Changes cannot be made by phone or by mail. How are paternity testing samples collected? Samples at Health Data, Inc. are taken with cheek (buccal) swabs. Or if specified by the Court or a legal representative, blood can also be drawn and used in testing for an additional fee. What is the difference between buccal mouth swab and blood tests?
The actual process of collecting the DNA samples takes approximately 20-30 minutes for a Mother, Alleged Father & Child. Paternity testing results are typically available three (3) business days following receipt of all samples in the laboratory. Each adult tested party will be notified of the results and will obtain an original notarized result. RUSH or NEXT DAY testing is available at additional cost.
