Accredited Paternity Testing
Some DNA paternity test laboratories will advertise themselves at accreditted by the AABB. This accreditation is important when getting paternity test results.

For a paternity test to be legal in court the DNA testing must be performed by a laboratory that is accredited by the AABB.Unaccredited Paternity Tests
An unaccredited paternity test would be a Home Paternity test kit that is performed at home. The actual testing may be performed in an accredited laboratory must a third party is not present to verify who is being tested. These results would not be valid in a court of law. The identity of the people testing cannot be verified.In most cases the only different between a Legal Paternity Test and an unaccredited Home Paternity Test is the manner of collection. You can make certain by asking the Paternity Test company which laboratories they use and find out if they are accreditted by the AABB.
