How long does the test take?
The results of a routine DNA paternity test take approximately 5 business days from the time the last sample is received in our DNA testing laboratory.

What will the results indicate?
The results will provide a probability of paternity of either 0.00% or 99.9% or greater. For a more detailed explanation of how to interpret a DNA paternity report, click here.

Will results be accepted In court?
Due to the fact that Orchid Cellmark is a fully accredited laboratory, the results of a Court Ready DNA paternity test can be used in any legal matter and will be accepted in a court of law, assuming the Chain of Custody form was completed in accordance with Orchid Cellmark’s strict Chain of Custody guidelines. The results of a Curiosity test will not be accepted in any legal matter.
