Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a DNA paternity test take?
The collection process in our Cookeville lab takes about 5–10 minutes. Once the samples are sent to our AABB-accredited lab, your official results are typically ready within 2 to 3 business days.
Do I need a doctor's order or a lawyer to get a test?
No. You can request a “Peace of Mind” or “Legal” test directly through us. However, if you need the results for court, we must follow a strict Chain of Custody process during the collection.
Does the mother need to be tested too?
While testing the mother can provide additional data, a paternity test can be performed with 99.9% accuracy using only the samples from the child and the alleged father.
Is the DNA collection painful?
Not at all. We use a non-invasive buccal (cheek) swab. It is quick, painless, and as accurate as a blood test.
Are your results court-admissible?
Yes. Our legal DNA tests are processed in AABB-accredited labs and follow all necessary legal protocols to be accepted by courts in Putnam County and across Tennessee.
