Compliance: Strict adherence to all federal (e.g., DOT), state, and industry regulations to ensure legally defensible results.
Speed: Quick turnaround times for preliminary and confirmed results, minimizing downtime and delays.
Accessibility: A network of accessible collection sites designed for efficiency and convenience.

Trusted DNA Identity Services

Our genetic identity services provide conclusive, court-admissible answers for sensitive relationship and identity needs. We guarantee irrefutable results and complete confidentiality throughout the entire process.

Key Features:

Testing Types: Comprehensive testing for relationship needs, including paternity, maternity, and sibling testing.
Accuracy: Irrefutable results verified by accredited, certified professionals.
Confidentiality: Guaranteed data privacy and discreet handling of sensitive genetic information and records.
Legal Standing: All testing protocols maintain strict chain-of-custody procedures, ensuring results are admissible in court for legal purposes.

Drug Test

1. Urine Testing (Swab/Oral Fluid Testing)

This is the most common form of testing for recent drug use.

Method: Sample collection involves a urine specimen or a quick oral fluid swab.
Detection Window: Typically detects drug use within the last 1–3 days. Oral swabs are excellent for detecting very recent use.
Applications: Ideal for pre-employment, post-accident, random, and reasonable suspicion testing due to rapid collection and result processing.

2. Hair Follicle Testing

Hair testing provides the longest look-back period for habitual substance use.

Method: A small, undetectable sample of hair (usually 1.5 inches long) is collected from the scalp or body.
Detection Window: Standard tests detect drug use over the last 90 days.
Applications: Preferred for long-term monitoring, often used in court-ordered or high-risk safety-sensitive positions.

3. Nail Testing

Nail testing provides a comprehensive historical view of drug use, similar to hair testing.

Method: Clippings from fingernails or toenails are collected.
Detection Window: Can detect drug use up to 3-6 months prior, offering a robust historical record.
Applications: Useful when hair samples are unavailable or in situations requiring an extended history of substance use.

DNA Testing

1. Paternity Testing

This is the most common relationship test, used to determine if a man is the biological father of a child.

Purpose: Provides conclusive results for child support cases, birth certificate changes, inheritance claims, and immigration requirements, as well as for peace of mind.
Methodology: Compares the child's DNA profile with the alleged father's DNA profile (and usually the mother's, though her sample is optional).

2. Maternity Testing

This test determines if a woman is the biological mother of a child.

Purpose: Often used for adoption cases, verifying hospital mix-ups, or immigration purposes.
Methodology: Compares the child's DNA profile with the alleged mother's DNA profile.

3. Sibling DNA Testing (Avuncular or Half-Sibling)

When the alleged father is unavailable for a paternity test, sibling or avuncular (aunt/uncle) testing can determine a biological connection.

Purpose: To determine the likelihood that two or more individuals share one or both biological parents.
Methodology: Compares the DNA profiles of the potential siblings (or the child and an alleged father's sibling) to calculate the statistical probability of a shared parent.

4. Grandparent Testing

This test is performed when the parents of a child are unavailable for testing, helping to establish the child's relationship to the paternal or maternal grandparents.

Purpose: Typically used in custody or social security benefit cases to prove a biological link through the grandparents.
Methodology: Compares the child's DNA with the DNA of the alleged paternal or maternal grandparents.

Notary Service

1. Acknowledgments

This is one of the most common notarial acts.

Purpose: To verify that the signer is who they claim to be and that they willingly signed the document for its intended purpose.
Procedure: The signer must personally appear before the notary (in-person), be positively identified, and declare (acknowledge) that the signature on the document is theirs and that they signed it willingly.
Key Detail: The document can be signed before the signer appears before the notary; they just need to acknowledge it as their signature.

2. Jurats and Oaths/Affirmations

Jurats are often required for sworn statements.

Purpose: To compel the signer to truthfulness. The notary administers an oath (a solemn pledge involving a higher power) or an affirmation (a solemn pledge on personal honor) stating that the contents of the document are true.
Procedure: The signer must sign the document in the notary's presence and then take the oath or affirmation administered by the notary, vouching for the truthfulness or accuracy of the document's contents (like an affidavit or sworn statement). Taking a false oath may result in perjury charges.

3. Signature Witnessing

Purpose: The notary acts as an impartial witness to the physical act of signing a document.
Procedure: The signer must appear in person before the notary and sign the document while the notary observes. This is distinct from an acknowledgment, which focuses on the signer's declaration of intent.

4. Certifying Copies (Non-Public Records)

Purpose: To officially state that a copy of an original document is a true, exact, and complete reproduction.
Procedure: The notary must personally make a photocopy of the original unaltered document and then certify it.
Key Restriction: Missouri notaries CANNOT certify copies of public records or publicly recorded documents. This includes:
- Birth or death certificates
- Marriage licenses or divorce decrees
- School transcripts
- Recorded deeds or mortgages
- Any document where a certified copy can be obtained from a government agency.

Missouri Revised Statutes (Chapter 486), a Missouri notary public is authorized to perform several specific notarial acts. These acts ensure the identity of the signer and the voluntary nature of the signing, thus helping to deter fraud.
