Why people order this test Maternity cases are rarely about doubt the way paternity cases are. They are about paperwork that has to hold up: an adoption reunification where the reunion is real but the record has to prove it, a birth certificate that needs correcting, an immigration petition where the relationship is the whole case, an inheritance matter where the court wants evidence rather than testimony. Some are IVF and surrogacy confirmations. A few are the quiet fear that a hospital made a mistake. Whatever brought you here, the test answers it with better than 99.9% certainty, and the answer is admissible. What makes it legal, not just accurate A home kit uses the same science and proves nothing to a court, because nobody watched who gave the sample. This test is collected at a test center: a trained collector checks each person's identification, witnesses the cheek swabs, photographs and thumbprints the adults, and seals the samples into a chain-of-custody package on the spot. That paper trail is what courts, USCIS, and vital records offices accept. What happens after you order Each person picks their own test center during checkout, and they do not need to visit the same one. Mother in one city, child in another is routine. Walk in during business hours, no appointment. The swab is painless and takes seconds, easy even for infants. A child under 18 comes with a consenting guardian. Results post to your secure online account, usually in 3 to 5 business days after the last person is collected, and only you decide who sees them. What it costs $299 covers both people's collections, the laboratory analysis, and the court-admissible report. No draw fees, no physician fees, no surprise bills. If another person needs to be tested, adding a participant is $149.50, which covers their collection, everything. Every participant brings valid identification to their collection: a driver's license, state ID, insurance card, or anything showing their name. That is what makes the witnessed result court-admissible.
