Legal vs. Home DNA Test in West Linn, OR

How Your Legal DNA Testing Process Works:

• Step 1: Schedule your appointment at an approved collection center.
  Once you decide to proceed, you'll contact our team to book your appointment at the nearest authorized collection facility. 
• Step 2: Verify everyone's identity before sample collection begins.
  When you arrive, you'll present a valid government-issued photo ID for verification.
• Step 3: Have your DNA samples collected by a trained professional.
  A certified collector gently swabs the inside of your cheek using sterile collection swabs. 
• Step 4: Complete the required legal documentation.
  The collector records participant information, confirms identification details, labels every sample correctly, and completes all chain-of-custody paperwork. 
• Step 5: Accredited laboratory to perform the DNA analysis.
  Your samples are securely transported to our accredited labs, where experienced professionals compare genetic markers using validated lab procedures.
• Step 6: Receive your official DNA report.
  Once the analysis is complete, you'll receive a professionally prepared report that includes the testing results.

Because every legal collection requirement has been followed, the report can generally be used for qualifying court proceedings, government agencies, and other official purposes.

How Does the Home DNA Test Kit Work?

• Step 1: Order your Home DNA Test Kit.
  After placing your order, your DNA collection kit is shipped directly to your preferred address. 
• Step 2: Collect your DNA samples at your convenience.
  Using the supplied swab, you'll gently rub the inside of your cheek for the recommended amount of time to collect your DNA sample. 

(The process is simple, painless, and usually takes only a few minutes for each participant.)

• Step 3: Package your samples correctly.
  After collecting each sample, seal it in a labeled collection envelope.
• Step 4: Return your kit for laboratory analysis.
  Once everything has been packaged, you'll mail the kit back to our labs for analysis.
• Step 5: Our laboratory analyzes your DNA samples.
  Experienced laboratory professionals then compare the genetic samples following the same quality standards used for our other DNA testing services.
• Step 6: Receive your confidential results.
  After testing is complete, you'll receive your confidential DNA report for personal use.

Note: Because the collection wasn't supervised or documented through a legal chain of custody, these results are intended for informational purposes only and generally cannot be presented as court-admissible evidence.

(Inside the package, you'll find sterile cheek swabs, collection envelopes, and detailed instructions with a prepaid return package for mailing your samples back to the lab.)
