The Paternity Test

What is a paternity test?

A DNA test for paternity is the most reliable way to determine a biological link between a father and his offspring. A test is usually done when one of the two parties suspect the presence of absence of a biological relationship with the other. It is also done for other reasons such as validating a birth certificate, or to determine the recipient of an inheritance. The result of the paternity test is accepted as the most definitive and irrefutable proof of paternity.

What should you expect?

A paternity test appointment will be scheduled for you within 24 hours of contacting DNAForce. The nurse will collect a swab from the inside of the mouth of both parties. The entire process takes less than ten minutes and is completely painless. The swabs will then be sent to a laboratory where up to 15 DNA markers from each will be extracted, analyzed and compared. The result will be sent to you by mail, email or telephone, whichever is convenient for you. Alternatively, you can perform the DNA test at home yourself.

Which DNA Test is the Best Choice for Me?

The informational DNA Test

If you need the results for informational purposes only - in that you do not need a test for legal reasons - we suggest the informational DNA Test. This test has the same scientific value as the legal test. It is often done in one of our collection centres. Alternatively, it can be done at home by the participants themselves and returned to our laboratory by mail. If home collection is chosen, the kit will arrive at the address of your choice within 1 to 2 business days and it contains everything you need to perform a saliva swab collection. Before ordering an informational DNA Test, please seriously consider if you will need to use the results for any legal or official reasons. This will make you avoid having to pay for a legal/official test in the future.

Professional Collection Available

A paternity either a) at home using the home collection kit, or b) in a certified location such as a collection centre, a hospital, a medical clinic, etc. To book an appointment, call us and an appointment specialist will schedule an appointment close to where you live. We have multiple collection centres available across Canada. When you are ready to start the process, call us to book an appointment.
