How Does Our Home Paternity DNA Test Compare?
For more than 25 years, PaternityUSA has provided private, reliable DNA testing for families across the United States. Our Home Paternity DNA Test offers a convenient and confidential way to determine a biological relationship, with all samples analyzed by an accredited U.S. laboratory using established quality standards.
This at-home test compares the DNA of the alleged father and child to deliver clear, conclusive results. Each sample is processed using validated procedures, with results typically available within 1–2 business days after the laboratory receives all samples. Findings will indicate a probability of 99.99% or greater when paternity is confirmed, or 0% when it is excluded.
DNA collection kits are shipped quickly and discreetly, with prepaid return packaging included. If participants are located in different cities or states, additional shipping addresses can be added during the ordering process so each person receives their own collection kit.
Home paternity testing is intended for personal knowledge only. If you require results for court or official use, a legal paternity test with documented chain-of-custody will be required.

So Glad I Chose Paternity USA
After 29 years of toiling back n forth with doing some type of testing to find out my who my biological father was, I read reviews for Paternity USA and decided to use them. They were able to ship the test we needed to two different homes. The process was super easy. I emailed to obtain the tracking info for the second test and they provided it to me with no problem. We literally received our results via email within 1 day of them getting both samples in their lab.
I highly recommend this company for DNA testing.
