What’s It Like to Get a Legal DNA Test? and What Makes it Legal?

Legal DNA Testing Is Different From Those Swab Kits You Send In The Mail, But It Doesn’t Have To Be Hard. You Prepare For The Test By Not Eating, Drinking, Chewing Gum, Or Smoking For 20 Minutes Prior To Your Appointment, And Gather Identification For Everyone Being Tested As Well As A Witness (Not A Blood Relative). The More Parties You Include In The Test (Mother, Father, Sibling), The Quicker The Lab Will Be Able To Process The Results. (3 Samples Are Best, But 2 Will Be Sufficient).

At Your Appointment Your Legal DNA Test Collector Will Have You Fill Out A Consent Form For The Test, Collect Payment, And Fill Out A Chain Of Custody Form For The Test. The Chain Of Custody Form Is What Takes A DNA Test From At-Home To Court Legal. It Shows In Writing Who Handles The Samples, From Your Collector, To Shipping, All The Way To The Lab, And Ensures That The Samples Haven’t Been Tampered With.

The DNA Collection Itself Is The Easiest Part. Your Legal DNA Test Collector Will Use Sterile Swabs To Collect DNA By Rubbing The Swab On The Inside Of Your Cheek. It Takes Just A Couple Of Minutes. It’s Painless, Tasteless, And Perfect For Any One From Infants To Adults. The Swabs Are Then Sealed In An Envelope, Marked, And Packed Up For Shipping. Your Samples Are Then Sent To An AABB Accredited Laboratory For Processing. You Can Expect To Receive Your Results Within 6 Business Days From Your Testing Appointment.
