Non-Legal DNA Test

DNA Testing

DNA testing is a powerful tool for establishing biological relationships between individuals. This process typically involves collecting genetic material through cheek swabs from the individuals in question and subsequently comparing the DNA samples. One common application is paternity testing, which determines whether an individual is the biological father of a child. This test compares the DNA of the alleged father with that of the child. For enhanced accuracy, it is recommended that the child’s mother also participate, as she contributes 50% of the child’s genetic material.

The Informational Paternity Test is designed to provide insights into biological relationships but is not intended for legal use. The results from this test cannot be utilized for any legal purposes, including adding or removing a father's name from a child’s birth certificate, child support, visitation, or any other verified legal situations.

This test is ideal for those seeking answers and peace of mind without the need for legal documentation. If you require a paternity test that can be used for legal matters, please consider our Paternity Legal Test instead.

Why would I need this test?
The Non-Legal DNA Test is ideal for individuals seeking to confirm biological relationships for personal knowledge or peace of mind. It can help determine paternity, maternity, sibling relationships, or other familial connections without the need for legal documentation or court admissibility.
Will over-the-counter or prescription medications affect the test results?
No, over-the-counter or prescription medications will not affect the results of a DNA test. DNA testing analyzes your genetic material, which remains unchanged by medications, foods, or most environmental factors.
Do I need to prepare for the test?
No special preparation is needed for this test. You do not need to fast or avoid any substances before sample collection. Simply ensure that your mouth is clean by avoiding eating, drinking, or smoking for at least one hour before the test if a cheek swab is used.
How is the sample collected for the test?
The test typically requires a buccal (cheek) swab sample. A sterile swab is gently rubbed inside the cheek to collect cells containing DNA. The process is quick, painless, and non-invasive. In some cases, a blood sample might be used, but cheek swabs are the most common method for non-legal DNA testing.
How accurate are the results of a Non-Legal DNA Test?
The accuracy of a non-legal DNA test is generally the same as that of a legal DNA test. The main difference lies in the documentation and chain-of-custody procedures required for legal purposes. For personal use, the test provides highly reliable results regarding biological relationships.
What is the difference between a Legal DNA Test and a Non-Legal DNA Test?
The main difference lies in the documentation and procedures. A Legal DNA Test follows strict chain-of-custody protocols, including verified identification and documented sample handling, making the results
