Book an Appointment with a sampler
A legal DNA paternity test requires that a neutral third party, usually a medical professional like a doctor or a nurse, collect your DNA samples. They are known as samplers and are responsible for verifying the identity of the parties being tested and their subsequent samples. You are responsible for making an appointment with a registered sampler and paying any related fees.
The Sampler will endorse the passport-sized photos you have provided as follows:
1) “I [Samplers Name] certify that this is a true likeness of ... [person’s name]”
2) Samplers Signature
3) Date
(For a visual guide on how your samples will be collected visit our Sample Collection Guide page.)
