Legal DNA testing in Newark, New Jersey, provides documented biological relationship testing when DNA results must be used for legal purposes. Unlike an at-home DNA test, legal DNA testing follows a documented chain-of-custody process that verifies each participant's identity before collection and maintains the integrity of every DNA sample from collection through laboratory analysis.
DNA Testing Newark coordinates legal DNA testing through our partner AABB-accredited laboratory for individuals, families, attorneys, and government agencies throughout Newark and the State of New Jersey. Whether your testing is needed for child support, custody proceedings, a birth certificate amendment, immigration, or another legal matter, our consultants help determine the appropriate DNA test before scheduling your appointment.

Proper chain-of-custody procedures include:
Identity verification
