Paternity Testing PDF Print E-mail

SDHD collects paternity samples for several private companies.  SDHD does not do the actual testing itself.

Samples are usually collected via buccal (cheek) swabs.

People interested in paternity testing should contact one of the private companies.  These companies will explain the testing procedures and discuss costs.  Once an agreement is made between the client and the company, the company will contact SDHD to set up the collection.

SDHD does not receive test results.  Those arrangements may be made between the client and the testing company.

A few of the companies that SDHD works with are linked below, but the list is not exhaustive and there are many different companies that do this type of testing.
