Frequently Asked Questions
What is mobile DNA testing?
Mobile DNA testing means we come to you. Professional DNA specimen collection is performed at your home, workplace, hospital, attorney’s office, or another convenient location you choose. You’ll receive the same accurate laboratory testing without the inconvenience of visiting a collection site.
How does mobile DNA testing work?
Scheduling is simple. Choose a convenient time and location, and we’ll come to you. During your appointment, a trained collector will verify identification (for legal testing), collect painless cheek swab samples, and send them to an AABB-accredited laboratory for analysis. Once testing is complete, you’ll receive your results securely.
How do I schedule a DNA test?
Scheduling is easy. Complete the contact form on our website or give us a call. We’ll schedule a date, time, and location that’s convenient for you.
Where do appointments take place?
At Your Door DNA comes directly to you. Appointments are available at your home, office, hospital, attorney’s office, assisted living facility, or another private location that’s convenient for you. Our mobile service eliminates the need to visit a clinic, making the process simple, confidential, and stress-free.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
For the best results, avoid eating, drinking, smoking, or using mouthwash for at least one hour before your appointment. Please bring a valid government-issued photo ID for all adult participants. For legal testing involving a child, please bring the child’s birth certificate, if available.
What’s the difference between legal and non-legal testing?
Legal DNA testing follows strict identification and chain-of-custody procedures, making the results admissible in court. Non-legal testing is for personal knowledge only and cannot be used for legal purposes.
How long does it take to get results?
Most DNA test results are available within 2 to 5 business days after the laboratory receives your samples. Need results sooner? Ask about expedited testing options.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover) and debit cards. Electronic payment is required for all mobile appointments.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is important to us. We handle every appointment with professionalism, discretion, and respect for your personal information. Test results are released only to authorized individuals in accordance with the laboratory’s privacy policies and testing procedures.
What happens to my DNA sample after testing?
Your privacy is important to us. Test results are released only to authorized individuals, and your information is handled in accordance with the laboratory’s privacy policies. After testing is complete, DNA samples are handled and disposed of according to the laboratory’s standard procedures.
