LEGAL PATERNITY DNA TESTING
COURT-ADMISSIBLE. ACCURATE. TRUSTED WHEN IT MATTERS MOST.
At Palmetto Compliance & Testing, our Legal DNA Testing service provides accurate, court-admissible results used to establish biological relationship for official and legal purposes.
OVERVIEW
Legal DNA testing follows a strict chain-of-custody process from start to finish to ensure the integrity and validity of every sample collected. All participants must provide valid government-issued identification at the time of testing. Samples are collected by trained professionals in a controlled environment to prevent tampered or contamination.
Samples are typically collected using a simple cheek (buccal) swab from each tested individual. Once collected, all specimens are carefully documented, sealed, and sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis under strict quality and compliance standards. Results are reviewed and verified to ensure accuracy and legal admissibility.
This testing option is designed for individuals and families who require officially recognized results that can be submitted to courts, attorneys, or government agencies.
WHAT IS A LEGAL PATERNITY DNA TEST?
A Legal Paternity DNA Test is used to determine whether an alleged father is the biological father of a child when the results are needed for official or court-related purposes. This type of testing follows a strict chain of custody, including verified identification and documented sample collection, so the results may be used for matters such as child support, custody, birth certificate changes, inheritance, or other legal proceedings.
