UNDERSTANDING YOUR REPORT
Know what the result means.
A paternity report compares the tested DNA profiles and explains whether the tested man is excluded or not excluded as the biological father. Ask the laboratory about your individual report.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
A little clarity
before you begin.
Can this test be used during pregnancy?
No. This selected kit tests a child after birth using cheek swabs. It does not detect pregnancy or test an unborn baby. Prenatal paternity testing is a different service and is not sold here.
Can I use the result in court or for immigration?
This kit is for personal information. Legal testing requires a different collection and identity-verification process. Contact an appropriate provider before buying a test for any legal purpose.
Are there extra laboratory charges?
The selected listing describes the basic laboratory analysis for one possible father and one child as included. Additional participants or optional services can cost extra. The final retail total will be shown before payment.
How do I collect the samples?
Use only the supplied materials and follow the original registration, consent, collection, drying and return instructions. Do not substitute collection instructions from this website. Ask the laboratory when something is unclear.
Are the instructions and results available in Spanish?
This storefront is available in Spanish. The provider’s current Spanish-language kit instructions, registration flow, laboratory support and report options still need confirmation. We do not promise a fully Spanish laboratory experience yet.
What packaging should I expect?
The image is a kit illustration. Final packaging details will appear in the shipping terms before ordering opens. Keep all laboratory labels, sealed materials and original instructions intact.
Who handles the DNA and the test results?
The kit provider and its laboratory handle registration, samples and results under their own terms. This storefront is designed to handle the retail order only. Do not send us DNA reports, sample photographs or tested participants’ personal details.
Can I order from New York?
No. This offering excludes New York State residents and samples collected or shipped from New York. The shipping form also blocks New York addresses.
What consent is needed?
All participants must follow the laboratory’s consent requirements. For a child, the person authorizing testing must have the required legal authority. This site does not offer secret or nonconsensual testing.

GUIDE 01
At-home paternity testing: a first-time buyer’s guide
Start with the question you need answered, not the box on the screen. A home paternity kit involves sample collection and a separate laboratory process.
Read the guide ↗GUIDE 02
Home vs. legal paternity tests: choose the right process
A personal-use test and a legal test are not interchangeable purchases. DDC explains that legal testing uses controlled collection and identity.
Read the guide ↗GUIDE 03
After-birth and prenatal paternity testing are different services
The product selected for this storefront uses samples from a child after birth. HomePaternity lists prenatal testing separately from its home cheek-swab.
