At easyDNA we offer a range of Legal DNA Tests for those requiring their test results to be recognised in a court of law. A legal DNA paternity test can be used to settle any number of family related legal matters, including, child custody cases, child support cases, inheritance disputes and immigration applications (visit our DNA Immigration Testing page for more information about this particular service).
A copy of the test results will initially be sent to you by email within 5-7 working days and a hard copy (original) of all the documentation will follow around 10 days later. This will be signed and documented by a notary.
For a DNA test to be fully court admissible, the testing must follow a strict chain of custody procedure. Use our step-by-step instructions on how to conduct and present your Legal DNA Test results.
Step One: Order your Legal DNA Test
Using our simple-to-use Order DNA Test page, select your test, place your order and process payment. The cost of our Legal DNA paternity test is INR19,800 (price does not include any fees charged by the sampler). Once your order is confirmed a Legal DNA Kit will be specifically prepared for your case and dispatched to you within 2 working days. Our Legal DNA Kit contains everything you will need for the test, including submission forms, sampling instructions and the sampling kits.
Step Two: Book appointment for your DNA Sample Collection
For a DNA test to be fully court admissible, a neutral third party, usually a medical professional like a doctor or a nurse, must collect and identify your DNA samples. They are known as Samplers and are responsible for verifying the identity of the parties being tested and their subsequent samples. You are responsible for making this appointment and paying any related fees.
Step Three: Prepare your Paperwork
Here is a list of what you will need to take to your Sampler’s appointment.
• Each person being tested must provide two passport size photos showing your full face and wearing no hat.
• Each person being tested must also provide an original ID document that can be checked to confirm identity when sampling (please also photocopy the ID and sign the back of it with your name, signature and date and enclose it with your samples) Examples of accepted ID documents: Passport, Full Drivers License, National Identity Card with photo, Armed Forces ID card, Pass card issued by a Government Department or other photo ID.
• Certified copy of birth certificate for children tested.
• Sampling kit and submission forms as provided by easyDNA in your Legal DNA Kit
Step Four: Collecting your DNA Samples
At your appointment, your Sampler (GP or nurse) will collect DNA samples from all participants on oral swabs, which will be carefully dried and placed in the collection envelopes. He/She will seal and label each envelope, ensuring that at no time during the process are the participants to come into contact with them, and send them directly back to our offices in the self addressed envelope provided in the testing kit.
The Sampler will endorse the passport-sized photos you have provided as follows:
1) “I [Samplers Name] certify that this is a true likeness of ... [person’s name]”
2) Samplers SIGNATURE
3) DATE
(For a visual guide on how your samples will be collected visit our Sample Collection Guide page.)
