Your Results

Release, Turn Around, and Time Frame

DNA Identifiers will notify you, the client, about the results as soon as the laboratory releases them. Paternity/Maternity DNA Test results are typically available two-business days from the date all of the samples are received at the lab. Sibling DNA Testing or Grandparent DNA Testing can take up to three weeks, but are typically generated much more quickly. (We offer expedited services for an additional fee, as well.)

Although DNA Identifiers uses UPS Overnight (or fastest International Shipping) for all of our tests, sometimes it can take a few weeks from start to finish to complete the DNA testing process for Immigration. Ultimately, the timing will vary depending on the speed of the Embassy and Embassy appointed/approved doctor.

Once testing has been completed, and the results are available for release, the laboratory will mail the official, notarized results directly to the Embassy, as well as to whomever you, the client, has requested in writing that they be mailed to (such as yourself and your lawyer).

In most cases, the Embassy desires the Official, Notarized Legal DNA Test Results to be mailed directly from the laboratory to the Embassy in order to prevent tampering or forgery and maintain the Chain-of-Custody process that makes the test LEGAL.

However, in some cases, you will be able to have the results sent directly to your Immigration Officer, Attorney, Lawyer or Representative. When establishing a case with the INS, be sure to ask them if they require the Legal DNA Test Results to be mailed back to the country of origin from the lab. If they in fact do not, you might be able to save yourself money on the UPS World Wide Express International Shipping.

Initial Notification

You may elect to receive the initial results notification in any manner of your choosing: phone call, email, fax or any combination of your choice. The official, notarized legal documents detailing the results will be delivered in the mail to you via USPS. You may elect to have as many copies of your results mailed via USPS standard mail service for FREE. Therefore, if you wish to have the official DNA Testing Results Legal Documents mailed to more than one national location, you will not pay a fee unless you elect to use UPS for delivery in order to expedite delivery. You may also elect to use your own shipping account, should you have one. Multiple International locations will also cost some amount of money depending on where and how fast you desire the shipping to be.

PLEASE NOTE: DNA Identifiers will never make money off of your shipping needs. You will only ever pay EXACTLY what UPS charges, no more, no less. If you have your own shipping account you are welcome to use it in place of our service as well.
