Accuracy

Our lab reads 34 short tandem repeat (STR) markers — the same forensic-grade markers used in courts, immigration cases, and crime labs worldwide. Every sample is run twice by two independent technicians, and if any marker is ambiguous, we re-test at no cost. When the alleged father is the biological father, the result is 99.99%+ probability of paternity. When he isn't, the result is a definitive 0% exclusion.

AABB Accredited Lab

Meets the standard required by U.S. courts for legal paternity testing.

ISO/IEC 17025

International accreditation for laboratory testing competence.

CLIA Certified

Federal quality standards for clinical laboratory testing.

CAP Proficiency Tested

College of American Pathologists proficiency verification.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is an at-home paternity test?
Our test delivers 99.99%+ probability of paternity when the alleged father is the biological father, and a definitive 0% (exclusion) when he is not. We analyze 34 genetic markers and run every sample twice in an AABB-accredited lab.
Are home test results court-admissible?
No. Any court proceeding — child support, custody, birth certificate corrections — requires a legal test with chain-of-custody collection. The science is identical; the difference is who witnessed the sample being taken. See our Legal Paternity Test.
Can I test without the mother?
Yes. A test using only the alleged father and child is still 99.99%+ accurate. Including the mother is free and slightly strengthens statistical certainty in unusual cases, but it is not required.
How long do results take?
1–2 business days from the moment the lab receives your samples. Kits typically arrive at your address in 1–3 days, so most customers have results within a week of ordering.
Is my information private?
Yes. Kits ship in plain unmarked packaging. Results are delivered as an encrypted PDF only to the email on file. We never sell or share data, and samples are destroyed 90 days after testing on request.
What's your refund policy?
Full refund within 30 days if the kit is unused. Once the lab has begun processing samples, testing costs are not refundable — but we will always re-test at no charge if there is any question about a result.
What's in the kit?
Buccal (cheek) swabs sealed in individual pouches, labeled sample envelopes, a prepaid return mailer, an ID form, and step-by-step instructions. Enough materials for one alleged father, one child, and (free) the biological mother.
How do I swab a baby?
The swab is soft and painless — even for newborns. You rub the inside of the cheek for 30 seconds. Best done between feedings. Instructions include newborn-specific guidance.
Do you ship discreetly?
Yes. All kits ship in plain brown or white mailers with no logos, no product name, and a generic return address. The billing descriptor is also non-identifying.
Can I add more children or possible fathers?
Yes — add-ons are $79 per additional child or alleged father, selected at checkout. There is no limit.
