If you don’t anticipate needing results for court or for other legal reasons, then a home paternity test kit is the perfect choice. The kit contains all the materials needed for testing, plus a trackable postage-paid mailer. Once your kit arrives, you swab all test participants in the comfort of home—no visit to a clinic required. Then seal the sample envelopes and send them off to our lab. It’s just that simple!
The report is posted to your secure online account 1-2 business days after all samples have been received at the lab.

A: Results from a home paternity test cannot be used as proof of paternity for legal reasons such as child support, custody, Social Security, etc. This is because DNA is collected by test participants, chain-of-custody protocol is not followed, and identities of tested parties haven’t been independently verified. Be assured your results from a home paternity test will still be accurate for the samples provided to us: they are just for peace of mind and personal knowledge only. If you need results for court or think you may in the future, call us directly at 800-681-7162.
A: Yes; results for a home paternity test are just as accurate as they are for a legal test. In fact, once samples arrive at the lab, the process for testing is exactly the same for a home test as it is for a legal one. You can be certain your results for a home paternity test are accurate for the samples we are provided.
A: Cheek-swab samples are not the same as saliva samples, so we recommend that customers swab for a full 30 seconds per swab while taking care to avoid the saliva-rich gum areas. If samples seem “too wet” once swabbing is complete, just wave the swab in the air for 1-2 minutes before placing it in the paper sample envelope.
A: DDC does not put names on the home paternity test report, since identities of the test participants have not been independently confirmed. Names of participants are requested on sample envelopes for internal-tracking and communication purposes only. If you want a report with names, you may want to choose a legal paternity test instead. Sorry—we cannot add names to a home paternity test upon request.
A: Cheek-swab samples are the industry standard for this type of test. Cheek swabs make DNA extraction by our lab’s robots easy, which is one way to keep costs lower for our customers. If you want to submit an “unusual” sample such as toothbrush, ear wax on swabs, or fingernail clippings, you must call us directly at 800-681-7162 to discuss your request with one of our experts. Keep in mind there is a non-refundable fee of $150 required to test a sample’s viability prior to testing.
