Home Paternity Test Procedures
Starting the home paternity testing process is very quick and easy. Simply fill out the online order form or call one of our knowledgeable representatives and request a home paternity test kit. Within 24 hours, we will ship a kit to any address you designate.

The home paternity test kit you receive will contain these items:

  • Sterile Dacron Synthetic Swabs: cotton-like swabs designed specifically for the collection of DNA samples.
  • Swab Storage Envelopes: used for placement of the swabs after collection to avoid contamination by mold or bacteria.
  • Business Reply Envelope: used to send the samples back to our DNA testing laboratory.
  • Collection Instructions: detailed description of procedure for collecting the DNA samples.
DNA Collection Procedure:
  • Remove the Swab Storage Envelopes from the kit. Complete the requested information on EACH of the envelopes.
    • Envelopes for the CHILD and ALLEGED FATHER are pre-labeled
    • Additional envelopes, not labeled, are provided for the other tested parties, (Mother, Child #2, Alleged Father #2, etc.) You MUST LABEL these additional envelopes, indicating whose sample it contains.
    • It is also very important for our statistical analysis that you provide us with proper race information.
  • Open one package of the Sterile Dacron Synthetic Swabs at the OPPOSITE end of the swab tip.
    DO NOT TOUCH THE SWAB TIP.
    • In each package of swabs, there are FOUR swabs for each person: two for the right cheek and two for the left cheek.
    • Discard the plastic package
  • Collect the DNA samples.
    • Open mouth wide and insert swab to the inside of the cheek.
    • Rub swab firmly back and forth, and up and down, rotating the swab while rubbing.
    • Use two swabs on the right cheek and two swabs on the left cheek.
  • Place the swabs directly into the appropriately labeled envelope. DO NOT place the swabs back into the plastic.
  • Repeat STEPS 2-4 for each tested party.
  • Place each of the labeled envelopes, containing the samples, into the Business Reply Envelope.
  • Send all the samples, along with your payment, back to our laboratory so testing can begin.
