Choose the test that fits your purpose

PureCheck provides paternity testing in Metairie at 3350 Ridgelake Drive, Suite 219. Collections are handled privately, and our team explains the appointment requirements before samples are taken.

The most important decision is whether the result is needed for a legal matter or for personal knowledge. Legal testing uses verified identification, witnessed collection, and documented chain of custody. Informational testing is private, but it is not intended for court or government use.

Legal and personal paternity testing

Both options use cheek-swab collection. The difference is how identities, samples, and documentation are handled.

Legal paternity testing

Choose legal chain-of-custody testing when results may be used for custody, child support, immigration, inheritance, or another official proceeding. Identification is verified and collection is witnessed and documented.

Informational paternity testing

Choose an informational test when you want private answers for personal knowledge. Samples receive laboratory analysis without the witnessed chain-of-custody process required for legal use.

What to expect at your appointment

A little preparation helps prevent delays, especially when another person or an ordering party is involved.

  1. Confirm the purpose

    Tell us whether the result is personal or must satisfy a legal or agency request.

  2. Schedule the collection

    Coordinate the people being tested and ask whether they should attend together.

  3. Verify identity and collect

    Bring requested identification and paperwork. Collection is completed with cheek swabs.

  4. Receive the result

    Results are delivered through the authorized process selected for your test.

Questions before you book

Confirm your test type, documentation, and deadline before collection so your appointment matches the request.

Can a paternity test be used in court?

Yes, when you select the legal chain-of-custody option before collection. Informational testing does not include the identity verification and witnessed documentation needed for legal use.

What samples are collected?

Paternity testing generally uses cheek swabs collected from the tested parties. The process is non-invasive and only takes a few minutes once identification and paperwork are complete.

What should I bring to a legal DNA appointment?

Bring valid photo identification and any court, attorney, agency, or referral documents that apply. Call ahead for instructions about minors and all participating parties.

How long do paternity results take?

The typical turnaround is 2-5 business days after collection. Timing can vary, so confirm your deadline and test type when you schedule.

Is the appointment confidential?

PureCheck handles testing information privately and releases results only through the authorized process established for the test.
