Legal Paternity Testing for Documentation Needs
Legal paternity testing is designed for documentation needs and provides court-admissible results through chain-of-custody sample collection, identity verification, and documented handling.
If you’re completing testing for child custody, immigration, or other official requirements, our team helps coordinate collection at an approved facility. Results are typically available within 3–5 business days after the lab receives all required samples (timing may vary by case requirements).
