What is the difference between a ‘peace of mind’ paternity test and the legal paternity test?
The ‘peace of mind’ testing is purely for curiosity reasons and involves a DNA testing kit being sent to an address of your choice & collecting the DNA samples of those being tested via the swabs enclosed. Motherless testing is accepted.
The ‘legal’ test is for disputes involving paternity, real estate, immigration and changes of birth certificates. The individuals being tested will attend a medical centre where a medical professional will extract all DNA samples and your identification will need to be validated.
The alleles (genes) examined, accuracy, are identical on both types of tests. |

Bacteria, food or any other organisms within the mouth will not affect buccal swabs. |
