Legal vs. At-Home Testing

Legal, court-admissible cases require a chain of custody of the sample, which must be drawn from an approved LabCorp collection site. When DNA test results will be used for legal purposes, such as child support, social security, or custody matters, "legal" DNA tests are required. "At-home" DNA tests provide the same information as a legal DNA test; but they are not intended for use in a court of law and are NOT considered court-admissible.

How do New York residents order a legal DNA test?

Legal DNA testing of New York residents can be purchased online. However, it requires an authorized person to make a written request, which is typically in the form of a physician or court order.

Why Labcorp DNA?

Labcorp's premier DNA testing lab dedicated to identity testing has been solving genetic relationship puzzles for more than three decades.
