What to expect for your DNA appointment
- 1
Before the appointment
We confirm the test type, who will participate, the purpose of the test, and the collection location. If a court or agency is involved, check its requirements and acceptance rules in advance.
- 2
At collection
Bring current government-issued identification for each participant. A trained collector takes cheek-swab samples and documents the collection. Each person being tested will be photographed as part of the chain-of-custody documentation. We’ll coordinate who needs to be present and where each participant will be seen.

For legal testing
Samples and participant photographs are identified, sealed, and tracked with chain-of-custody documentation from collection through transfer to the partner laboratory. The AABB-accredited laboratory performs the DNA analysis.
