If you need to establish paternity for legal reasons, a Legal Paternity Test is required. This might include:
Child support or custody disputes
Adding or removing a parent from a birth certificate
Immigration applications
Inheritance claims or wills
Family court matters
Legal tests follow a strict chain of custody process, meaning all DNA samples are collected by an approved professional, and the identities of those tested are verified through ID checks and paperwork. This ensures results can be legally admissible in court or with government bodies.
2. When Peace of Mind Isn’t Enough
A Home Paternity Test is perfect when you want answers privately—say, for your own peace of mind or to confirm a family relationship quietly at home. But if there’s a possibility the results may be questioned or you’ll need proof in a legal situation later, it’s better to go the legal route upfront.
3. When Others Are Involved
If a third party—like a lawyer, judge, or immigration officer—has requested the test, it must be a Legal Paternity Test. Home tests won’t be accepted.
