Accurate. Confidential. Convenient.
We offer a wide range of DNA tests for legal and personal use.
For some people, the question is, “How do I know if he’s the biological father?” Others want to know whether siblings share the same parents, when an immigration application requires DNA evidence, and some are seeking answers for personal clarification.
Regardless of the reason, choosing the correct DNA test in Maine from the beginning can save time and reduce stress. Face DNA Test works with families and individuals in Maine who need DNA testing for both personal and legal situations.
From court-admissible DNA paternity tests to NIPP and at-home DNA testing, we provide tailored solutions at affordable prices. Before your appointments, our team will explain each option and help you schedule your appointments. All DNA tests are handled professionally and processed in our AABB-accredited & CLIA-certified DNA testing labs, ensuring accurate and confidential results.
Establishing parentage has legal consequences in Maine, especially when questions involving parental rights, child support, inheritance, or birth records change. The Maine Paternity Act (Title 19-A, Chapter 61 of the Maine Revised Statutes) provides the legal framework for determining parent-child relationships.
One way parentage is established is through a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Parentage signed by eligible parents after the child’s birth. This document has the legal effect of establishing parental rights and responsibilities without the need for court proceedings.
In another way, when parentage is disputed, the court will order a legal DNA paternity test in Maine under 19-A.M.R.S. 1911. This will confirm the father-child relationship and allow the DNA evidence to become a part of a formal parentage proceeding in Maine courts. Maine law requires that each legal test follow the chain-of-custody procedure.
At Face DNA Test, court-ordered DNA tests in Maine meet all these legal requirements and provide court-approved results. From ID verification and professional sample collection to analysis at our accredited labs, we monitor and document every step.
Although our at-home DNA test kits in Maine provide accurate results, they lack a chain of custody, which is why results are not suitable for legal use. For personal clarity and answers, you can order our at-home DNA test kit online.
