How the service works

What We Do - and How

NYC DNA Testing is a collection and coordination service. Certified collectors handle appointment-based, documented chain-of-custody collection at five NYC locations or by mobile visit.

Analysis is performed by our AABB-accredited laboratory partner, which holds the New York State Department of Health clinical laboratory permit New York requires. This is the structure courts, USCIS, and agencies accept. Standard test results are typically available in 2–3 business days after the laboratory receives the samples.

That division of roles isn't a workaround - it's how valid DNA testing works: professional collection plus accredited laboratory analysis.

Our experience

Nine Years, Fifteen Thousand Cases

Since opening in 2017, we have handled more than 15,000 cases. That means we have seen nearly every situation: contested paternity, embassy petitions from dozens of countries, families spread across states, and court deadlines.

When you call, you are describing something we have handled before. Experience shows up as calm, correct guidance on the first phone call.
