Frequently Asked Questions

What if the parties to be tested live in different cities?
Yes, the kit can be split and the sample collection components sent to each address separately. Each component is individually barcoded and tested together once all samples arrive at the laboratory. To order a split kit, write "Please split kit" in the order notes and include the name and address for each component.

What if I need a legal paternity test?
Legal paternity testing requires an appointment for sample collection with a chain of custody. If you need a legal paternity test, purchase this kit and follow the enclosed instructions to pay the difference and switch to legal paternity testing. Legal paternity testing is available in the US, Canada, and UK.

Is there an age limit?
No. The DNA paternity test can be performed on individuals of any age, including newborns. If the patient is a minor, the legal guardian must sign the consent form.

Does the mother need to be tested?
No. A conclusive answer regarding paternity can be obtained without testing the mother, as long as the alleged father and child are tested.

Do test kits expire?
No. Test kits can be stored indefinitely prior to sample collection. Kits should be returned for testing within 3 months after sample collection.

What if both alleged fathers are closely related?
If both alleged fathers are available for testing, it is recommended to include both. Genovate runs the high-resolution extended DNA marker panel for all paternity test cases involving closely related alleged fathers.
