What Is a Non-Legal Paternity Test?
A non-legal (peace-of-mind) paternity test uses the same high-accuracy DNA analysis as a legal test, comparing 21+ genetic markers for a result greater than 99.9% certainty. The key difference is that no formal chain-of-custody is required — parties are not ID-photographed, and the collection is self-directed or privately observed. Results are for personal knowledge only and cannot be submitted in court. If you later need court-admissible results, a separate legal test must be ordered.
