Paternity testing can be a difficult situation to face, but we strive to make that process as easy as possible.
Paternity Test Requirements for the State of New York
New York requirements for paternity testing are unique. All residents participating in a paternity test must complete the legal paternity test once they receive authorization from a participating agent, such as a physician or an attorney. The legal paternity test involves having collections witnessed by a third party. To ensure the integrity of the samples, the witness (Collector) is responsible for sending the samples and paperwork to the IDENTIGENE laboratory.
New York Paternity Test Costs
The paternity test kit can be purchased at a local retail outlet for about $30. The complete service for the New York paternity testing process (including witnessed third-party collections) is about $300. Because of the special requirements for New York residents, you want to consider contacting our Client Support Team to assist you with the process. Expert representatives are available at 888-404-4363, Monday-Friday from 9 AM to 5:30 PM Eastern Time.
‘Since the launch of our [retail paternity test kits] three and a half years ago, we have seen remarkable interest in the IDENTIGENE kit from customers nationwide, and we are extremely pleased that this paternity test is now available on retail shelves throughout New York,’ said Steve Smith, IDENTIGENE Executive Director. ‘Many consumers prefer buying test kits directly from their pharmacy because of the convenience, lower cost, and quick results.

I was wondering if identigene has the same accuracy that dna analysis done in labs. I ask this because I was thinking to buy it but after reading some articles in http://paternitytestingdna.org, I decided to read more and get the right decision. After all this analysis is important for the future in my family. I will read more articles in your blog. Thanks.

Hello Marc,
I understand how you want to have confidence in the laboratory you select for paternity testing. Its important to know you can trust answers for something so important. IDENTIGENE paternity tests are completed in our testing laboratories. The kit is used to collect the DNA samples for all of the participants and are then sent to our lab for testing. 2-3 business days after we receive your samples your results are released to you. I hope this helps…please let me know if you do have more questions.
