What is a chain of custody process?
The Chain of Custody for paternity testing is a series of procedures that are carried out to ensure that the sample being tested matches the identity of the person being tested.
The first step involves a neutral third party, usually a competent medical doctor, to verify the identity of the person tested before taking their DNA sample. This step is necessary to avoid tampered samples.
After this, the DNA samples and the appropriate documents (signed copies of identification documents) have to be delivered to the testing site to ensure they have not been tampered.
Finally the testing laboratory has to ensure that the samples and the respective documentation are monitored throughout the process. If this procedure is done rigorously, the laboratory will be able to exercise results with certified certificates that can be used in court.

I’m very impressed! This company has been nothing but a pleasure to deal with from the moment I picked up the phone. I ordered a paternity kit and it was shipped to me after 3 business days. The test was simple and discreet, very easy to take. The results were available after 5 days and I can finally sleep better knowing the truth.

Everything went smoothly. The kit arrived within 2-3 days and instructions were very easy to follow. Results were sent to me within a week’s time. Customer service was great as I called in to place the order. So happy I know the results now!
