Paternity Testing Explained: Clear Results for Life’s Most Important Questions

Paternity testing uses DNA collected from the potential father and child to confirm or rule out a biological relationship. This process provides answers when there are questions about parentage, so you can take the next step—whether addressing legal matters, family decisions, or personal concerns. In many situations, a laboratory-conducted paternity test offers the level of precision needed for legal and official uses.

Modern DNA paternity tests analyze unique genetic markers from both parties' samples to determine biological relationships with extremely high accuracy. The comparison identifies shared DNA sequences. With advancements in testing technology, laboratory results deliver trusted, scientific evidence for court and personal reasons. Choosing a professional lab like ours provides oversight, detailed procedures, and confidence that your results will meet Washington State’s standards if you need legal documentation.

Legal & Informational Paternity Testing Services in Seattle

We offer two main types of DNA paternity tests at our Seattle location, each designed for specific needs:

  • Legal paternity testing: This test follows a documented chain of custody and produces results that meet court standards for cases like child custody, support, and benefits.
  • Non-legal (informational) paternity testing: Designed for personal knowledge, this option provides the same laboratory precision but is not valid in court.

If you do not know which test best fits your situation, our team can review your options with you. We help answer questions so you can make the right decision for your needs.

Legal paternity testing may be required by local courts or agencies in Seattle for support, visitation, or inheritance matters. If legal use is not your goal, non-legal testing is often the right fit for peace of mind. Both options use precise lab methods and strict privacy practices. We explain the difference so you can choose confidently, and we keep the process comfortable and clear, whichever you select.
