Court Admissible DNA Tests

A court DNA Test is required if the results are to be presented as evidence in court. The mother, child(ren), & alleged father(s) must all participate in the paternity test.

The difference in price of a Legally Accredited DNA Test compared to a Peace of Mind DNA Paternity Test is due to the legal documentation required & the identity verification necessary when DNA samples are taken from participants.

  • At the time DNA samples are taken, each test participant MUST provide two (2) forms of identification – one from each of the following two (2) lists:
    List 1: Passport, Birth Certificate, Drivers Licence
    List 2: Domestic Bill (Gas, electricity, Council Tax, phone or official bank statement – all no older than 3 months)
  • For clients under 18 years of age, a birth certificate is acceptable if no other forms of identification exist.

A strict protocol is then followed by both the DNA Clinic and the laboratories so that the results of the DNA paternity test can not be disputed in court.

If you require a Court DNA test, you must visit your local DNA Clinic as the process cannot be undertake using the Home DNA Testing Service.
