Our expedited option can be used for both legal and personal reasons. We will provide you with the original legal documents for your records. These documents can be used for any legal situation including, court, social security, birth certificate changes, etc

Scheduling a Test
An appointment must be scheduled for all DNA testing. With over 3,000 locations nationwide, it is not necessary for the parties participating in a DNA test to visit the same facility. In fact, we can schedule individuals in different cities and states. This will not affect the accuracy of your results or your ability to use the results for legal purposes.

We will need the name, relationship and date-of-birth of all individuals participating in the test, the zip code(s) and a contact number(s). Also, if there is a specific day and/or time you are interested in, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

To schedule testing, you may do one of the following:

• Call (866)944-9546 to speak with a DNA specialist.
• Submit the Appointment Request Form online.
• Print the Appointment Request Form, fill out the required information and fax it to (502)348-1165.

Identification needed for testing
Adults must take a photo ID, such as, a driver's license, state issued ID, military ID, passport, etc., to the facility. Children must have a photo ID, birth certificate or social security card. If testing a newborn, a birth certificate or social security card may not be available. In such cases, it is preferred that the mother or legal guardian visit the testing facility with the child, provide their photo ID and the hospital discharge papers.

How samples are collected
Samples are collected via buccal swab, which is the preferred method of collecting a DNA reference sample. A cotton swab is used to collect saliva from both the left and right cheeks of all individuals participating in the test. The buccal swab is non-invasive and painless for all parties involved. It is much easier to perform on infants and small children and it is equally as accurate as any other type of collection.

Results
We provide results verbally, over the phone, in 2 to 3 business days for paternity/maternity testing and in 3 to 5 business days for relationship testing. Results times do not include the day of collection. You will then receive the original documents via priority mail to the address of your choice. After receiving your results verbally, please allow approximately 5 days to receive the original documents. If you need to have additional copies sent from our office, there will be a fee of $25 per copy.

* The above result times are typical. However, in some cases, additional testing is required due to a particular individuals DNA. While this does not happen often, when it does, results could be delayed several days. This is completely out of our control and has nothing to do with the collection or testing process. A timely result is very important to us, however, an accurate result is the most important.
