NIPP Testing in South Charleston, WV

Pregnancy can raise paternity questions that families may want to address before the baby’s birth. Our non-invasive prenatal paternity testing in South Charleston offers a way to evaluate paternity during pregnancy without collecting a direct fetal sample from the mother’s womb. This test works on two available samples, including a blood sample from the mother and a cheek swab from the alleged father. The service is available from seven weeks of pregnancy, subject to testing requirements. The cost for this test is $1,495, and the expected turnaround time is generally 3 to 7 business days. If you are searching for NIPP testing near me in South Charleston, WV, contact us to confirm eligibility, sample collection arrangements, and current pricing before scheduling.

Payment is available either through Sezzle, which offers four interest-free installments over six weeks to eligible customers, or an in-house payment arrangement may also be available. A coupon of $100 is also advertised, but it cannot be combined with another payment plan.  

Legal vs. Non-Legal Paternity Testing in South Charleston, WV

The right paternity test depends on what you intend to do with the results. Before choosing a service, consider the following differences.

Legal Paternity Testing  

• Purpose: Intended for cases where documented DNA evidence is required in court orders or another official process.
• Sample collection: Includes identity verification and documented chain-of-custody procedures.
• Costing and Results: It costs $299, and results are generally available within 3 to 5 business days after collection, subject to laboratory processing.
• Important consideration: Check the requirements of the relevant court, agency, or other authority before arranging testing.

Non-Legal Paternity Testing

• Purpose: Intended for people seeking paternity information for personal knowledge.
• Sample collection: Office-based collection without the formal chain-of-custody process required for legal testing.
• Results and Costing: Results are usually accessible within 3 to 5 working days after collection, subject to laboratory processing. It is available for $199.
• Important consideration: These results are not collected under the same legal procedures and should not be relied on as a substitute for a required legal test.

Both options examine DNA to assess biological paternity, but their collection and documentation procedures differ. 

Relationship DNA Testing in South Charleston, WV

DNA testing cannot examine paternity as the only biological relationship. When a direct paternity test does not answer the question concerning other family members, a relationship DNA test can help evaluate the biological connection between the participants.

We offer several relationship-testing options, depending on the circumstances:

• Sibling DNA testing: Examines whether two individuals may share one or both biological parents.
• Grandparent DNA testing: Evaluates a possible biological relationship between a grandparent and grandchild.
• Aunt or uncle DNA testing: Also known as avuncular testing, it examines a possible biological connection between an aunt or uncle and a niece or nephew.

Non-legal relationship testing costs $320, while the legal option costs $400. The appropriate test and price depend on the relationship being examined and whether legal documentation is required. 

How to Arrange DNA Testing

You can start by identifying the question you need to answer. The following steps outline how to proceed.

1. Choose the test type. Decide whether you need prenatal paternity testing, a legal or non-legal paternity test, a home kit, or another relationship test.
2. Confirm the requirements. Contact us to discuss who needs to participate, the collection method, identification requirements, and any pregnancy-related eligibility conditions.
3. Arrange sample collection. Schedule an appointment at an authorized collection facility, ask about mobile collection where available, or order an eligible home kit.
4. Complete the collection process. Follow the instructions provided for the selected test. Legal testing requires the relevant identity checks and documented handling procedures.
5. Receive your results. The samples are analyzed by the laboratory, and results are delivered according to the selected service and its processing timeframe.

Appointments are required at collection facilities, and not every location performs every type of test. Confirm the service and appointment details before travelling.
