    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Medical and scientific research is making life easier in regard to issues such as privacy and convenience. Research has also been helpful in reducing the cost of over-the-counter DNA testing. If you are looking to conduct a paternity test in private, over-the-counter DNA testing could be an excellent option for you.

    Your Local Pharmacy

    You do not need to go to a doctor or a medical lab anymore to find a DNA testing kit. Stores such as Walmart, CVS Pharmacy, Kmart and Walgreens are all selling DNA testing kits now for less than $50.

    As of November 2009, Walmart is selling the Identigene home DNA testing kit for $24.64. 

DNA test kits will typically include cheek swabs, specimen envelopes and a prepaid envelope for you to send your test back to a lab to be completed and processed. Results can be expected as soon as in three to five business days. Make sure to follow the directions exactly as stated to avoid processing problems.

    Shopping Online

    If walking into a store to get a DNA test is something that you don't want to do, you can order a test online. Most companies will send test kits to your home or office in discreet packaging; prices are generally comparable to retail stores. This is a great option if you are seeking anonymity and privacy.

    Legal Issues

    Look for legal hotline phone numbers on most boxes of DNA test kits. These hotlines will help point you toward answers that you may have in regard to the legality of your DNA testing. Take legal advice into consideration when conducting any sort of DNA test in regard to issues such as paternity and ancestry.
