Choose the Paternity Test That Fits Your Needs
Legal Paternity Testing — $349
For clients who need documented chain-of-custody testing for court or other legal purposes. Identity verification and witnessed sample collection help protect the integrity of the testing process.
Standard testing includes the alleged father and child. Tell us about any court order or special requirements before booking.
Peace-of-Mind Paternity Testing — $249
For personal knowledge when you want to determine a biological relationship. This option does not follow legal chain-of-custody requirements and is not intended for court use.
Standard testing includes the alleged father and child, with convenient cheek-swab collection.
Flexible Payment Options
Afterpay is available for eligible purchases, subject to approval. Contact us about payment options before booking.

Paternity Testing Questions
Does the mother need to participate?
The mother is not required for most standard paternity tests. A trio test including the alleged father, mother, and child is $449. Additional participants are $150 each; we confirm the appropriate test and final quote before booking.
Can I use my results in court?
Choose legal testing if results are needed for a legal matter. Peace-of-mind testing is for personal knowledge. Let us know any requirements from your court or attorney before collection.
Can participants be collected separately?
Yes, separate-location collections can be coordinated based on availability. The $50 separate-location fee applies when two collection locations are required.
What if I need testing during pregnancy?
We also offer non-invasive prenatal paternity testing beginning at 9 weeks of pregnancy. Learn about prenatal paternity testing or call to confirm eligibility and pricing.
