DNA Paternity Test Results

With 100% accuracy, the results of a DNA paternity test—whether performed through a legal chain of custody or private sample collection —will reveal whether or not the tested alleged father is the biological father of the child.

A paternity test has two possible results. Each result is indicated by the Probability of Paternity listed on the result report.

• A Probability of Paternity of 99% or higher means the alleged father is not excluded as the biological father of the child. DNA Diagnostics Centre routinely achieves probabilities well above 99.99% for paternity tests.
• A Probability of Paternity of 0% means the alleged father is excluded as the biological father of the child. In other words, he is not the father.

Your paternity test will be completed within 3-4 business days from the time our laboratory receives all the required DNA samples. You may request to receive your results via mail or fax. If you are taking a peace of mind paternity test, you may also request to receive your results via email.
