Legal paternity testing with a documented process.
A legal paternity test compares a child’s DNA with that of a potential father. We coordinate the case with an AABB-accredited laboratory partner and confirm the collection requirements before anyone is scheduled.
Start with the purpose of the report.
People request legal paternity testing for matters such as custody, support, birth records, or inheritance. Tell us how the report will be used and whether a court or agency has given you specific instructions. The laboratory can then confirm the test and documentation required for your case.
Legal testing uses identified participants and documented sample collection. The lab sets the collection process and analyzes the samples. GenVeris coordinates the case and confirms the approved location, price, and estimated timing.
Legal paternity from $399
For a standard child-and-potential-father case with both people collected together at an approved local appointment. The starting price includes standard cheek-swab collection, documented chain of custody, laboratory analysis, standard domestic return shipping, and the lab report.
Collection availability, test design, and your written total are confirmed before booking. A third participant, separate collection locations, travel, or special case requirements may increase the price. See starting prices.

Sometimes. We confirm an approved plan and any added cost for each location before booking.
