What Is a Personal Paternity Test?
A personal (peace-of-mind) paternity test answers one question privately: is he the biological father?
Our staff swabs the cheeks of the child and the possible father, and an AABB-accredited lab compares their DNA at the same genetic markers used in court tests.
The results are just as accurate, with 99% or higher when he's the father and 0% when he's not.
Choose a personal test when you:
-
Want answers for yourself or your family, not for court
-
Need peace of mind before talking to a partner or family member
-
Want to know before deciding whether to take legal steps
Two Ways to Test
How a Personal Paternity Test Works
Every paternity test answers one question: Is this man the biological father?
A cheek swab collects cells from inside the cheek, which carry a full set of DNA. A child inherits half of their DNA from each biological parent, so the lab compares genetic markers between the child's sample and the man's.
When enough markers match, paternity is confirmed with over 99.9% accuracy. In cases where they don't, he is ruled out with 100% certainty.
Every sample — whether collected at our lab or at home — is processed by the same AABB-accredited reference laboratory.
The science and accuracy are identical to a legal test; a personal test simply skips the ID verification and chain-of-custody, which is what keeps it private and more affordable.

Personal Paternity Test FAQ
Do I need an appointment for a paternity test? No—you can walk in Monday through Friday or test at home on your own schedule.
How accurate is a personal paternity test? Very — it confirms paternity with over 99.9% accuracy and rules it out with 100% certainty. The science is identical to a legal test; only the collection process is different.
Can I use these results in court later? No. Because a personal test skips the ID check and chain-of-custody, a court won't accept it — you would need a separate legal test. If there's any chance you'll need results for court, start with the legal test.
