What Is a DNA Profile?
A DNA profile is a unique genetic identification record created from a person’s DNA sample. It can be used for personal records, future identification, or comparison in relationship DNA testing when needed.
A DNA profile does not diagnose health conditions and is not a medical genetic test.

Why Acquire a Permanent DNA Profile?
A secure genetic record serves several critical legal and personal safeguards:

Future Relationship Verification: Provides a baseline profile if an individual passes away and family relationships (such as paternity or estate claims) are contested later.
Estate & Inheritance Protection: Ensures an unalterable biological record is on file to support or protect estate planning.
Immigration & Legal Preparation: Establishes a verifiable standard for complex identity validation cases.
Human Identification Reference: Acts as a vital, permanent identity record for individuals working in high-risk environments or for missing person contingencies.
How the Testing Process Works
To maintain a secure chain of custody and accurate records, we use a simple, streamlined collection process.
