Legal DNA Profile
Legal DNA Profile
Live or work in a dangerous job? A DNA Profile may help if the unthinkable happens
The Legal DNA Profile, or DNA Fingerprint, test can be used as a benchmark comparison against other DNA results you may acquire from future paternity or relationship testing.
Additionally, single profile DNA tests are important documents to keep safe if you live and work in dangerous environments or high risk areas. In the unfortunate event of an accident, your unique DNA profile may help speed up identification and get you home to your loved ones faster.
We offer both a basic DNA fingerprinting test, for peace of mind, as well as a fully legal court admissible DNA profile. Click here for more information about our Home DNA Profile kits.
If you belong to any of the following professions you may want to consider completing a single profile DNA test:
Police or Fire Service
Armed Forces
War Journalist
Oil Rig workers
Off Shore Fishermen
Aircraft Pilots
Crane Operators
Aid Workers
...and more
Legal DNA tests require that everyone involved have their DNA collected by an impartial third party. This can be done at facilities such as a medical office, health clinic, or a hospital. See below for more detailed instructions.

Getting Your Legal DNA Profile
Step 1: Order Your Legal DNA Profile Online (Contact Us)
Order your DNA test like you would any other product online. Fill in your name, email, phone, shipping address.
For any DNA test to be considered Court Admissible it must be shipped to and handled only by an uninterested and unrelated 3rd party.
This 3rd party will take responsibility for collecting the samples, verifying the identity of the participants, and returning the samples to our lab. This can be done anywhere, such as the third parties house, a medical or law office. This third party can be anyone, a lawyer, notary, family friend, doctor, nurse, or pastor. But most importantly it must be someone with no interest in the results of the test.
Detailed instructions can be seen here.
Step 2: Get your DNA Collected
Make sure to bring a federally recognized government ID, such as a drivers license, passport, or military ID. In the case of a child being tested, a valid certified birth certificate copy must be brought. These should be copied or photographed by the collector. You will also be required to have a picture taken by the collector (or elect to bring one with you) at the time of the collection. The collector will help you fill out the paperwork, sign, include all copies and pictures (hard-copies or send electronic copies to Info@ValidityGenetics with the order number attached), and certify that the collection has taken place according to legal standards.
Step 3: Receive your Legal Paternity Results
After providing the sample at the collection site, the DNA test kit will be mailed in a secure and traceable package to our accredited home laboratory in El Paso, Texas. The professional laboratory technicians will handle your genetic samples according to the exacting standards set forth by our laboratory partner in preparing and processing the samples. Testing will be complete within two business days, the results will be double checked and verified for 99.99% accuracy, and after being signed off by our PhD lab directors we will issue a legal document to you via your email.
