This company got me the the answer I needed during what has been one of the most stressful times of my life. To have someone tell you after 12/13 years a child is yours and then turn on you and threaten you was horrible. I can now get back on with my life with my family. Thank you EasyDNA

Key Features of the Legal Paternity test

Why Use a Legal Start

Due to the specifications of the New York State Department of Health's regulations, we cannot offer home paternity tests to New York residents. However, we can offer legal paternity and relationship tests in New York. Contact us

The necessity for a legal DNA test may arise in many legal situations, including paternity claims, child custody decisions, child support payments, disputes over inheritance claimants and immigration cases (visit our DNA immigration testing page for more information).

Legal DNA testing is very different to home paternity testing. Testing that is carried out for legal purposes and not simply for informational use, follows a process that is different, including a different sample collection procedure and sharing of results. The process utilized in executing a legal DNA test involves a very strict chain of custody compliance with a particular focus on the collection of samples. However, do not worry as our expert case managers will provide you with all the necessary assistance throughout the entire process.

The price for a legal DNA paternity test is $279. Once testing is finalized, the legal DNA test results are emailed within 3-5 working days. This does not include any additional fees charged by the third party person tasked with collecting your samples (more information on this below).

EasyDNA recommends legal testing only in cases which require a court admissible or legal valid result. If you simply have doubts about the issue of paternity, we suggest starting with a peace of mind/ home paternity test.

The Chain of Custody

The key to a legal DNA test being viable in a legal proceeding is the process of collection of the DNA samples. If the collection of these samples is not verified or performed properly, the results of the test will be declared legally void. So, to ensure a proper and legal DNA test, a neutral third party is tasked with collecting your DNA; this person is known as the “Sampler”. The sampler may be a nurse, doctor, or other medical professional who can perform the sample collection and legally declare how they collected the samples and guarantee their integrity.

You have the choice to select an unrelated third party sample collector of your choice or, if you are located in the United States, we can organize for your samples to be collected by a Professional DNA Sample Collector. A Case Manager will contact you before the DNA sample collection kit is shipped to make sure everything is in order.

NOTE: If you to choose to proceed with your own sampler then you need to provide EasyDNA with the address of your chosen sampler. We will send our sample collection kit straight to the sampler. You will then simply need to organize an appointment for the collection.

What you will need to take

You will need:

2 passport-sized photos of each person being tested.Photos must be of the face only and no disguising elements, such as sunglasses or hats, may be present in the photo.An identification that is legally recognized and government issued, such as a driver’s license, passport, National ID card, or military ID. In the case of any children being tested, a valid and certified copy of their birth certificate must be shown.

The sampler must, prior to sending off the samples, take each passport photo and endorse it using a standard legal statement that is used in such cases. The sampler must sign and date the photos and declare that the photos provided genuinely portray the same people who have submitted the samples for the test.
