Results from our legal paternity test are admissible in court, whereas results from a home paternity test without our chain of custody are accurate but subject to sample tampering. Courts accept results from our legal DNA tests because they follow a chain-of-custody process with witnessed DNA collection, ensuring that no sample tampering can occur, this is a critical step in the testing process to ensure the sample came from the right donor. Without this step we do not have evidence of the actual donor. Our scientists and legal team have developed a simple legal format, that saves you a lot of time, money, and uncertainty

Congratulations, You Made the Right Decision

Thank you for choosing us for your paternity test. The scientific validity of a DNA test depends heavily on proper sample collection. Whenever possible, we recommend having the samples collected by a trained professional. If that is not possible, please follow these instructions carefully.

Questions? Call 1 877 842 4827
Proper DNA sample collection is essential for obtaining accurate and reliable results. Please keep each person’s swabs separate, avoid contamination, and follow every step carefully before mailing the samples.
1

Avoid Food, Drinks, Smoking, or Nursing

Refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, or allowing an infant to nurse for at least 1 hour before taking cheek swab DNA samples. Food, liquids, smoke, milk, and other contaminants may interfere with the DNA extraction and analysis process.

2

Do Not Touch the Cotton Tips

The cotton tips of the swabs should never be touched. They must also be protected from airborne pollutants and other DNA sources, including clothing, hands, or surrounding surfaces.

3

Air Dry the Swabs Properly

After collection, allow each set of 2 swabs to air dry for approximately 30 minutes in a clean, private area. Proper drying helps preserve the sample and reduces the risk of contamination.

4

Use a Separate Envelope for Each Person

Place each set of 2 swabs from one person into an individual clean envelope. Each person’s samples must remain separate and should not come into contact with any other moist envelope during storage or shipping.

5

Label Each Envelope Clearly

Write the donor’s name on the envelope containing that person’s swabs. Clear labeling helps keep the submitted samples organized throughout the testing process.

6

Important Note About Identification

For personal reasons, some people may choose to write any name they want on the envelope. We have no control over this. We test samples, not names.

Important: If you are unsure about any step in the DNA sample collection process, please contact us before mailing the samples. It is always better to ask first than to risk sending compromised swabs.

Main points to consider:
  • 1) Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew gum for 30 minutes before collecting samples.
  • 2) The swab tips should not come into contact with any surface other that the inside of the cheek at any point before, during or after collection
  • 3) Move the swab up and down while also rotating. It's very important to rotate the swab with your fingers.
  • 4) Allow the swab to dry before storing. At least one hour.
About Paternity Depot

Trusted DNA Testing for Home, Legal, and Prenatal Cases

Paternity Depot is a trusted leader in DNA testing, with more than 300,000 successful cases processed. Our laboratory network includes highly qualified specialists and advanced DNA testing facilities capable of handling both standard postnatal relationship testing and more specialized studies such as non invasive prenatal paternity testing.

We offer DNA testing for legal and informational purposes, including paternity, sibling, grandparent, avuncular, and prenatal cases. Our home DNA collection kits are easy to use, clinically precise, and can be coordinated even when the participants live at different addresses. If needed, we can send separate kits to each person being tested.

Once the testing process is completed, results are delivered promptly by email or phone, and a certificate can be mailed upon request.

Prenatal Testing with the Right Laboratory

For non invasive prenatal paternity testing, we coordinate the collection of a blood sample from the mother and the appropriate sample from the alleged father, then route the case to the laboratory best suited for that type of analysis. This allows us to offer reliable testing while selecting the facility that best meets the required international standards for the specific test involved.

Testing Across Different Locations

We regularly coordinate cases in which the alleged father, child, mother, or other family members are in different cities or different countries. Our process is designed to make DNA testing accessible, simple, and accurate regardless of distance.

Important Legal Notice

Legal and informational tests are scientifically processed using the same DNA principles. What gives a test legal validity is the correct chain of custody procedure. At Paternity Depot, we offer a legally valid chain of custody form prepared for clients who may need to use their results in court or for official purposes in the future.

If you believe you may later need to prove the validity of your DNA test, you should order the legal chain of custody form. The cost is $50, and once you receive it, you may make as many copies as needed, one for each participant. It only requires a witness, who may be a friend or neighbor, as long as that person is not related to the participants.

This form helps strengthen the future legal value of your testing. Ordering it now can save significant time, expense, and complications later if you ever need to use your DNA results for legal purposes.
