Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Peace of Mind Test?
A Peace of Mind (POM) DNA test is one that you can administer yourself at home, using a testing kit that you receive in the mail. This kind of test is intended for your own knowledge and peace of mind only – the results are not admissible in legal proceedings.
What samples are needed for a DNA test?
Most types of DNA test require a mouth swab used to collect buccal cells from the inner cheek. This is a quick and painless procedure. For a prenatal paternity test, a blood sample is taken from the mother along with a mouth swab from each potential father.
Do I need to get a doctor or medical professional to carry out the test?
For a Peace of Mind test, you can collect the samples yourself by following the simple instructions included in your kit. For a prenatal test, the blood samples should be taken by a trained phlebotomist.
How soon can you do a DNA test on a newborn baby?
DNA samples can be taken from a baby immediately after birth.
Is consent needed?
All home DNA tests require signed consent forms. These forms will be included in your testing kit. It is against the law to obtain DNA samples from an individual without their knowledge. Written authority is needed from each adult whose samples will be provided for testing. Somebody with parental responsibility must provide the child’s consent for anyone under the age of 16.
Can you test more than one potential father?
Yes. A standard paternity test will includes enough swabs to test one child and one father. However you can request testing for as many potential fathers as necessary using the same testing kit.
What’s included in a home paternity testing kit?
Your paternity test kit will contain the following:
- A testing request form
- A form asking for personal details and written consent for the DNA test. All individuals involved in the test must sign the consent forms before the test can take place.
- Instructions on how to take the DNA samples and return them to the laboratory
- An already-addressed envelope for sending your DNA samples back to the lab
- 3 sample collection swab packages, each containing 2 swabs.
- Individual sample envelopes for the child, alleged father and the mother (it’s not necessary to test the mother in a paternity test, but it is useful if the mother is available).
