DNA Test - Enid, Oklahoma

Types of DNA Tests at our Enid, Oklahoma locations:

The most commonly ordered DNA test is a Paternity Test to conclusively establish whether or not a man is the biological father of a child.

Paternity Testing can be performed at our testing centers. DNA Testing can be done for other close family relationships, such as:

Grandparent DNA Test (if the father is not available for testing)

Sibling DNA Test (possible brothers, sisters, or half-siblings)

Avuncular DNA Test (aunt/uncle and niece/nephew)

Specimens we can test for DNA

The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the people being tested. These skin cells are known as buccal cells, and they rub off easily onto cotton swabs and remain in place for analysis by our laboratory. Other specimen samples, such as hair follicles, fingernails, and garments that might contain someone's DNA, can also be tested. An Alternative Specimen DNA Test is done by registering online and shipping the specimens to us.

Enid, OK DNA Testing

What Are DNA Tests Used For?

DNA tests exclude or confirm biological relationships between two people. The most common type of DNA test, a paternity test, determines the probability that a man is a child's father. DNA testing is also useful as evidence in court cases, like child custody and support cases, to change a birth certificate, and to establish paternity after the father has died.

Paternity Testing

A mother and an alleged father may use paternity testing if either parent is unsure of the child's biological father. If a mother denies that a man is the child's father, he can also use paternity testing to prove his biological relationship to the child.

Child Custody and Support

If unmarried parents have not established paternity, a judge may require DNA testing before issuing child support or custody orders. A certified lab must perform DNA testing for evidence in court; the court does not accept home DNA tests.

Changing a Birth Certificate

In some cases, DNA testing is required to change a birth certificate. This is the case if the wrong man is listed on the birth certificate as the child's father. For example, if a child's biological father is a man other than the mother's husband, he can use a DNA test to prove he's the father before adding his name to the birth certificate.

Post-Mortem Testing

DNA testing can also be used in cases where a child's alleged father has died, and the mother and child want to establish paternity for the purpose of social security survivor benefits, inheritance and other legal issues. A DNA sample can be collected from a deceased person to verify a biological connection.

How DNA Tests Are Analyzed

DNA specimens are taken from the individuals being tested. The most common specimen is taken from cheek swabs, but samples can also be obtained from hair follicles and other alternative methods, like fingernails. DNA specimens are sent to a certified lab where a doctor compares the individuals' DNA to determine the likelihood of a relationship.

How Long Does it Take to Receive DNA Test Results?

Cheek swab DNA tests take up to one week after specimen collection.

Hair follicle DNA test results arrive in up to two weeks.

Note that these times can vary among providers.

Establishing Paternity in Oklahoma

Paternity means fatherhood, and establishing paternity means giving a child a legal father. In Oklahoma, if a child is born to married parents, the husband is automatically presumed the child's legal father. However, unmarried parents must establish paternity. The easiest way to establish paternity in Oklahoma is by signing an Acknowledgement of Paternity form, a voluntary, legal document stating the child's father. If the parents cannot agree to sign the form, they can establish paternity in court.
