Paternity Test
Confirmed by our team during personal review.
Personal testing is not admissible in court, and a personal collection cannot be upgraded afterwards. If there is any chance you will need this in court, choose Legal. If you are unsure, call us before you book — there are options we can talk through with you.
3 Who is being tested

Each person needs their full name and the city where their sample will be collected. They do not all have to be in the same place.

Including the mother is optional but recommended. It strengthens the statistical power of the report and reduces the chance of an inconclusive result that would require re-testing at additional cost.
4 Preferred appointment

Optional. We schedule each participant individually and confirm by email and text.

5 Consent and authorization

Required by law before we can process genetic samples.

Every adult being tested consents separately. Each adult signs their own consent at collection, on the laboratory's form. During our review we confirm that every adult is willing to take part — which means you find out early if someone will not, before you have paid anything.
Please complete the three consent confirmations above to submit.

By submitting, you agree that Divine DNA may email you about your case and, occasionally, about our own services. You can stop the occasional emails at any time. The other people on your case are never emailed for that purpose.

Submitting a request does not create a testing agreement and does not charge you. Our team reviews every case and contacts you before any payment is collected.

What this test is

A paternity test compares the DNA profile of a child with that of an alleged father to determine whether he is the biological parent.

Our laboratory analyzes a minimum of 24 short tandem repeat (STR) genetic markers from painless inner-cheek swabs. Because a child inherits half of their DNA from each biological parent, the child's markers must match the father's at every tested location for paternity to be confirmed.

Function and purpose
  • Child support, custody and visitation proceedings
  • Adding or correcting a father on a birth certificate
  • Social Security, inheritance and military benefit claims
  • Private peace-of-mind answers for the family
Immigration cases work differently. Immigration DNA testing follows a separate process set by the U.S. Department of State and must be arranged directly by the petitioner through an AABB-accredited laboratory. Call us and we will walk you through it.
Industry standards
  • Inclusion results report a probability of paternity of 99.99% or greater; exclusions are reported at 100%.
  • Legal (chain-of-custody) tests require photo identification, witnessed collection and tamper-evident packaging.
  • Testing is performed by an AABB-accredited laboratory, accredited for Relationship Testing Activities, using dual-technician review.
  • Standard turnaround is 2 to 3 business days after the final sample arrives at the laboratory.
  • The mother's participation is optional but strengthens the statistical power of the report.
