Paternity Testing in Tacoma

Paternity testing is available for both personal and legal purposes. Personal (non-legal) tests are the right fit when you need clarity for your own peace of mind. Legal paternity tests follow strict chain-of-custody protocols from the moment of collection through results delivery, so the findings may be submitted in court proceedings or to government agencies.

Collection is non-invasive. We use a simple cheek swab on both the potential father and the child, then compare unique genetic sequences to establish whether a biological relationship exists.

Common reasons clients come to us for paternity testing include:

Confirming fatherhood
Proving child support rights
Claiming government benefits
Asserting inheritance rights
Resolving legal parenthood disputes

Paternity Establishment in Washington State

Washington state doesn’t automatically assign parental rights to an unmarried father at birth. Only the mother receives legal parental status without additional steps. A father must establish paternity by completing an Acknowledgment of Paternity at the hospital or by filing one later with the Washington State Department of Health or the Division of Child Support.

That acknowledgment can be withdrawn within 60 days of filing. After that window closes, a court challenge based on fraud, duress, or material mistake of fact may be filed within four years. DNA testing results are frequently submitted as supporting evidence in both paternity establishment and disestablishment proceedings in Washington courts. Our Court-Admissible testing service is designed specifically for those situations.

All DNA Testing Services We Offer

Fastest Labs of Tacoma is a full-service DNA testing location in Tacoma. Below is the complete range of test types available at our facility.

Immigration DNA Testing

Immigration DNA testing establishes biological family relationships when supporting documents are insufficient for USCIS or other immigration authorities. These tests meet AABB-accredited standards, the recognized benchmark for DNA testing accepted in legal and immigration proceedings, and results are delivered in a format suitable for submission to immigration agencies.

Court-Admissible DNA Testing

Court-Admissible testing follows chain-of-custody procedures throughout collection and analysis, producing results that meet the standards required by courts and legal agencies. This service is distinct from personal testing and is required whenever results may be introduced as evidence.

Maternity Testing

Maternity testing confirms a biological mother-child relationship using the same non-invasive cheek swab method. Common uses include adoption verification, immigration cases, and personal confirmation.

Infidelity Testing

Infidelity DNA testing analyzes biological fluid samples to determine whether a third party’s DNA is present on a fabric specimen. We require a small bodily fluid sample on fabric along with a DNA exclusion sample from the known partner to isolate any third-party DNA in the analysis. Every aspect of the process is handled with strict confidentiality.

Genetic Reconstruction

Genetic Reconstruction establishes biological family relationships by testing available relatives when the primary individual can’t or won’t provide a sample. This approach is useful when:

A potential father is unreachable or deceased
A party refuses to submit to direct testing
An individual can’t be present to provide a sample
A party wants the testing kept confidential

Adoption Testing

Adoption Testing helps adoptees identify biological relatives, access family medical history, and explore cultural heritage. Results can support legal relationship establishment or simply provide personal understanding. Many clients come to us after years of unanswered questions about their backgrounds, and testing can be a meaningful starting point.

Twin Zygosity Testing

Twin Zygosity testing determines whether twins are identical (monozygotic) or fraternal (dizygotic). Results are useful for medical decision-making, personal curiosity, and documentation.

DNA Profiling

DNA Profiling establishes a permanent genetic record of an individual that can serve as a reference point for future identification, family relationship testing, or legal proceedings.

Forensic DNA Services

Our Forensic Services support legal proceedings, investigations, and family law matters where biological evidence analysis is required.

Genealogy/Ancestry Testing

Genealogy/Ancestry testing traces lineage and verifies ethnicity, helping clients understand where their family comes from and connect with distant relatives.

HomeDNA™ Lifestyle Kits

HomeDNA™ kits offer a range of consumer DNA-based insights, from nutrition and fitness to skincare, collected using the same simple cheek swab method as all our other DNA services.

Hear From Our Customers

“I needed a last minute drug test for my schooling. These guys were the only ones that even answered my call plus came in on the weekend and were super understanding.”

- Erica M.
“Fast, professional. Highly recommend”

- James C
“Fast, friendly and very efficient is how I would describe them. I would say I was in and out of there in 10 maybe 12 minutes maximum. It was absolutely spotless and better organized than any doctor's office I've ever been to. And the manager even helped me decide which future work location would be best as far as drive time from my residence as she knew the area well. The only thing is the street sign going into their complex says "Fletcher Dr." and not "Industrial Dr." so you might pass it up and have to circle back like I did.”

- Matt

How to Prepare for Your DNA Test at Fastest Labs of Tacoma

Preparing for a DNA test at our Tacoma location is straightforward. The cheek swab collection is quick and non-invasive, and most visits take just a few minutes from check-in to completion. Here’s what to know before you arrive.

What to Bring

Every person being tested must present a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport.

For Court-Admissible and immigration tests, we follow chain-of-custody procedures from collection through results delivery to support admissibility requirements.

Day-of Expectations

Most DNA tests don’t require fasting or any special preparation. We’ll let you know in advance if your specific test has additional requirements. Walk-ins are welcome, and appointments can be scheduled online or by phone if you prefer a set time.
