Paternity DNA test
About the test
A clear answer to the question of paternity
A paternity DNA test determines whether the tested man is the child's biological father. The child's DNA data are compared with those of the alleged father.
You can collect the samples at home using the sample collection kit and following the instructions provided.

Test result
What will you learn?
The standard laboratory report provides data on the DNA markers compared and the conclusion of the paternity test. A forensic medical expert's opinion can be ordered separately as an additional document based on the same genetic results. It is not a different version of the laboratory test or its results.
A result supporting paternity
The report states the probability of paternity calculated from the test data.
A result excluding paternity
The report concludes that the tested man is not the child's biological father.
The test report is provided in English. When the test is ordered with a forensic medical expert's conclusions, the report is provided in Lithuanian.
Frequently asked questions

The test takes around 10 working days on average from receipt of the samples. Sample delivery time is not included in this period.
Is the sample collection kit included?
Yes. When you order this test online, the sample collection kit is provided free of charge.
The sample collection kit can also be purchased at the clinic. If you buy the kit at a pharmacy, you will need to pay for the test separately. Payment information is included in the kit.
Can I test more people?
Select additional participants next to the product price. Before placing the order, check the selected option and the total amount.
The standard option is for the alleged father and child. The mother's participation is not required.
I need the result for legal purposes. Which option should I choose?
Before ordering, contact us and tell us which institution requires the documents. We will agree on the procedures for sample collection at the clinic, identity verification and documentation, and on ordering an additional forensic medical expert's opinion if needed.
A routine laboratory DNA test is performed and a standard test report is provided. A separately ordered forensic medical expert's opinion is an additional document, not a different set of genetic results. Acceptance of the documents depends on the applicable procedures and the requirements of the particular institution; testing a sample alone does not guarantee that its results will be accepted in court.
