Alpha Medical Paternity DNA Testing offers three main types of paternity tests: Legal Paternity, Home Paternity, and Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity. Each test is designed to meet different needs, from legal requirements to personal peace of mind.
- Legal Paternity Testing: Provides court-admissible proof of a biological relationship for child support, custody, immigration, birth certification, Social Security, and other legal reasons. Requires on-site DNA collection and strict chain-of-custody procedures.
- Home Paternity Testing: For personal knowledge or peace of mind (not court-admissible). Easy-to-use mail-in kit, discreet packaging, and results for personal use only.
- Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing (NIPP): Establishes paternity during pregnancy, as early as 7 weeks. Non-invasive and safe for both mother and baby. Blood sample from the mother and cheek swab from the possible father.
