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.
