What this test is for

A prenatal paternity test is used when a client wants to determine biological paternity during pregnancy through a non-invasive collection process supported by the lab offering the service. This page is for prenatal paternity — not general prenatal genetics, carrier screening, or chromosome analysis.

Who may be eligible

Eligibility depends on the laboratory rules for the ordered test. Before booking, confirm:

  • minimum gestational age — 8 weeks for this service (legal); informational from 10 weeks
  • singleton pregnancy required — twins and multiples are excluded
  • the alleged father must participate with a cheek swab sample
  • physician referral is not required in most cases, but share any existing orders at intake

Legal and informational options

Informational prenatal paternity testing is for private knowledge only and is not intended for court use. See informational prenatal paternity testing for peace-of-mind booking.

Legal prenatal paternity testing follows a documented chain-of-custody process for approved legal use where available. See legal prenatal paternity testing when court-admissible documentation is required.

How collection works

A clear booking path should explain the full process:

  • maternal blood draw performed by a trained collector
  • alleged father cheek-swab sample collected at the same appointment when possible
  • identity verification and witness steps for legal cases
  • estimated turnaround — typically 5–7 business days after the lab receives acceptable samples
  • results delivered through the approved method for the testing type selected

Mobile collection and office appointments

Mobile dispatch is available nationwide for legal prenatal NIPP (+$175 flat fee) or visit an accredited partner location at the base price. Prepare gestational timing, participant availability, and whether you need informational or legal testing before you schedule.

Partner location collection is matched to your zip code at booking. Informational NIPP is a mail-in/coordinated kit at a flat price.

For neighborhood-specific booking context, see Lincoln Park DNA testing. For all DNA options, start at the DNA testing hub.

Important medical note

This test is not a substitute for prenatal care. It does not replace medical advice, prenatal screening, or treatment decisions. Clients should speak with their physician about medical questions related to pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How early can I test?

Is the test safe for pregnancy?

Yes. This non-invasive prenatal paternity test uses a maternal blood draw and a cheek swab from the alleged father. It does not use amniocentesis or other invasive fetal sampling procedures.

Can results be used in court?

Only if the legal chain-of-custody version is booked and available for your case. Informational prenatal paternity testing is for private knowledge only.
