Frequently Asked Questions - 911DNAtest.com

Do you use a lab that is accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks?

Yes, the testing lab we use has several accreditations including: American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), ACLASS Accreditation Services (ISO/IEC 17025), ASCLD/LAB-International, College of American Pathologists (CAP), Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH).

Who needs to be tested for Paternity?

The Mother, the Child and the Alleged Father. We can accurately complete a paternity test without the Mother's sample, but this requires additional analysis and may take a few days longer to complete.

What kind of samples does 4TRUTH IDENTITY need?

4TRUTH IDENTITY prefers to use a cheek swab sample since it is easy to obtain, completely non-invasive, painless, and is just as accurate as blood samples. Most biological samples are acceptable, including a tube of blood or drops of blood on a blood spot card (additional charges apply to blood samples that are more than 30 days old).

How accurate are 4TRUTH IDENTITY's tests?

If the DNA of the Alleged Father and Child matches, the probability that he is the biological father is typically over 99.995%. Generally, if there are two or more mismatches between the DNA profiles of the Alleged Father and Child, he is 100% excluded from being the biological father.

What if the testing parties live in different cities?

No problem! 4TRUTH IDENTITY will arrange for all parties' samples to be collected in their respective cities and some countries. All the samples will be coordinated as one case when they arrive at the accredited laboratory that we use. *Extra charges may apply for shipping, ask us for details.

How long does it take to get results?

Once the AABB accredited lab receives all the samples, it typically takes an average of 2 to 3 business days to complete the test.  Guaranteed 1st Business Day RUSH tests are also available when initially ordered. *Ask us about the 911DNA guaranteed RUSH RESULTS*

Does 4TRUTH IDENTITY require a court order for a legal paternity test?

No, 4Truth does not require a court order, except the state of New York requires a doctor's prescription and/or a court order when all of the testing parties are current residents of NY. New York State Residents should contact us prior to ordering.

Can I use 4TRUTH IDENTITY's results in court?

Generally yes, as long as you choose a legally binding test with full chain of custody, photographs, fingerprinting of adults and DNA samples are collected by an impartial third-party. The notarized results report is a legal document for paternity, non-paternity, maternity or non-maternity.

Do tests have to be paid for all at once?

NO, once the process is initiated by you, we will setup an appointment for specimen collection with a mobile collector (limited service areas) or at a facility location near you with a $100 USD non-refundable deposit or 50% non-refundable deposit (whichever is higher), this process takes about 24 hours. [You must contact us for payment arrangements in advance]

We will begin the testing of the samples after the account balance has been paid in full. Sample collection appointments are typically scheduled 1 - 5 business days in advance. The specimen collection fee is paid in advance by you or 4TRUTH Identity, direct to the collection facility. No test results will be released until 4TRUTH Identity has received full payment for all testing services. We recommend having your legal DNA test performed as soon as possible to get the whole truth about family relationships.

What forms of payment does 4TRUTH IDENTITY accept?

You may pay with an VISA / MC/ AMEX / DISCOVER credit card [on-line], local attorney trust account check or US Postal money order, made payable to 4TRUTH IDENTITY Inc. Or charge-by-phone (fax and driver's license required) using Visa/MC credit or debit cards. *call 404-289-3321 for more information* We are a verified business merchant with PayPal.
