Quality Accurate Legal Maternity Testing – Court Approved Legal DNA Test
Our legal maternity testing is court admissible and delivers a conclusive, accurate result for DNA testing between an alleged mother(s) and child(ren).
With sample collection under chain of custody, the legal maternity test result you will receive will be a legally binding notarized certificate which can be used for many legal purposes.
Many times, families need these results to prove maternity in court, child custody or support situations, for insurance purposes, to change a name or social security benefits. Whatever the case may be, our maternity tests are accurate and will establish maternity with a 99.9+% or 0% probability that the tested woman is or is not the mother of the tested child, giving you the documented proven evidence you need.

Testing performed by a fully accredited laboratory in the United States.
Trusted by families nationwide for over two decades.
Higher marker count for greater accuracy and confidence.
Quick turnaround with complete confidentiality.
Smaller companies advertise cheap legal DNA testing and allow participants to choose their own collector. Surprisingly, they even mail the collection kit right to the client. Please beware – this practice does not follow legal testing requirements. Their cheap maternity test can end up being extremely costly to your family in the long run.
It’s a direct violation of legal testing requirements for anyone associated with the legal maternity test to be in the possession of the collection kit. This includes any test participant, family members or friends. When someone with an interest in the test has access to collection supplies, there could easily be suspicion of tampering. For this reason, we never ship legal collection kit to anyone other than a medical professional.
Secondly, a legally binding maternity test must be collected by a doctor or clinic professional. With PaternityUSA.com, you can use your doctor for the DNA collection or opt for professional collection service at one of more than 4,000 clinic locations. Again, having someone known to the test participant act as a collector, or “witness” in the DNA collection, does not meet legal testing standards. A collection by an associate, friend or family member can easily be discredited; causing you to have to pay for another test.
A legal test conducted without chain of custody is easily contested and disputed in court; and more importantly will not stand up as evidence.
In contrast, we don’t bend guidelines and risk possible injury to your case. Every legal testing requirement is strictly followed to help ensure your result stands up in any legal matter facing your family. We understand the need for a legal DNA test is usually accompanied by an emotionally taxing burden. As such, we handle every case with care and confidentiality.

The legal DNA testing process is quite simple. When you place your order, you may choose to use our professional collection service (collection at one of our clinic locations) or have a test collection kit shipped free to your doctor's office.
Order Your DNA Test $195Start your legal maternity test by ordering online or by phone and selecting either professional collection at a clinic or having a kit shipped to your doctor’s office.
If using your doctor, confirm they can perform the collection and we’ll send a chain-of-custody kit with a prepaid return mailer to their office. If using our service, we’ll schedule your appointment at a nearby clinic based on your availability.
After collection, samples and documentation are sent directly to the laboratory. You’ll receive an email notification once your samples are received and testing is underway.
Once testing is complete, results are emailed as a PDF (if selected) and a notarized hard copy is mailed to the billing address. No materials are shipped to you other than the official results.
For over 25 years, families across the United States have trusted PaternityUSA for reliable DNA testing and knowledgeable client support, serving hundreds of thousands of clients nationwide with fast, confidential results.
“In my opinion I am very satisfied. I have an adult daughter that’s 24 years old now that I did not know I had. The results came in very quickly, took a couple of days, and I am very pleased with this product. If I need it again, this is what I’ll get. I will definitely recommend this to anybody that needs to do a DNA test.”
