Legal DNA Test in India
When a DNA test is intended to be presented before a court, government authority, embassy, or any official organization, it must follow strict legal procedures. A Legal DNA Test is different from a standard peace-of-mind DNA test because every step of the testing process is documented, verified, and protected through an unbroken Chain of Custody.
At DNA Forensics Test Solutions Pvt. Ltd., every legal DNA test is performed under strict forensic protocols to ensure sample integrity, identity verification, confidentiality, and reliable scientific analysis. Our legal DNA testing services are suitable for court proceedings, immigration matters, family disputes, inheritance claims, and other official purposes where legally documented DNA evidence is required.
What is a Legal DNA Test?
A Legal DNA Test is a scientifically performed DNA analysis conducted under documented forensic procedures that establish the identity of every tested individual throughout the complete testing process.
Unlike home DNA testing, legal DNA testing requires:
- Government-issued photo identity verification
- Photographs of all tested individuals
- Signed consent documentation
- Witnessed sample collection
- Tamper-evident sample packaging
- Unique barcode tracking
- Complete Chain of Custody documentation
- Laboratory documentation and secure reporting
These procedures ensure the authenticity and reliability of the DNA report.
