If you need paternity test results that can be used as a legal document (for example, to change the name on the birth certificate or to obtain child support and other benefits), a Legal DNA Test needs to be performed.
Unlike the Home DNA Test, where tested parties collect their own samples at their convenience, the Legal DNA Test follows a Chain of Custody documentation process to ensure that you receive accurate and legally defensible results.
There are a number of reasons as to why you may need a legal DNA test. The most important thing is to make sure that you choose the right AABB certified lab partner to guide you through the legal dna testing process.
