All legal DNA collections must follow verified identity procedures, including government‑issued identification, photographs, and signature verification.
Chain‑of‑custody documentation must be completed in full and may not be altered, omitted, or falsified.
Samples collected for legal purposes are sealed, documented, and transferred directly to an accredited laboratory in accordance with chain‑of‑custody requirements.

Courts, agencies, or legal authorities retain full discretion regarding whether to accept DNA results for legal proceedings. Origin DNA Testing does not guarantee acceptance of results by any court or governmental body.
Any failure to comply with identity verification or chain‑of‑custody procedures may result in cancellation of legal testing without refund, as outlined in our Refund Policy.
Legal DNA testing is governed by Connecticut law, federal regulations, and the policies of the accredited laboratories performing the analysis.
