Grandparent DNA Testing in New Mexico: Frequently Asked Questions
Who Needs to Be Tested in a Grandparent DNA Test?
For best accuracy, the child and both grandparents should participate. Including the mother's sample strengthens the test, though it's not required. Learn more about New Mexico DNA testing requirements at the NM Department of Health.
How Accurate Is a Grandparent DNA Test?
Modern AABB-accredited labs deliver highly reliable kinship probabilities. Testing both grandparents and the mother increases confidence in results. Explore the AABB standards for laboratory accuracy.
Can a Grandparent Request a Paternity Test Legally in New Mexico?
Yes! Grandparents can request legal paternity tests for estate, custody, immigration, or child support. All legal tests must use official chain-of-custody procedures to be admissible. Learn more about court-admissible DNA testing in New Mexico.
How Long Until Results Arrive?
Legal and at-home test results are typically ready within 5 business days after all cheek swab samples are at the laboratory. Expedited processing is available.
Can a Grandparent Do a DNA Test on a Grandchild Without the Parent’s Consent?
In legal cases, New Mexico law requires parental consent before testing minors. At-home tests don't require parental consent but are not admissible in court. See parental rights information from NM Health.
How Much Does a Legal Grandparent DNA Test Cost in New Mexico?
Legal grandparent tests in New Mexico typically cost between $400 and $499, depending on additional services like expedited results.
Can Grandparents Use DNA Testing for Immigration Cases?
Yes. Immigration agencies such as USCIS accept lab-based grandparent DNA tests when direct parentage testing is unavailable. Our AABB-accredited labs meet all USCIS requirements.
What Happens If My Grandparent DNA Test Results Are Inconclusive?
Sometimes, not enough DNA is shared for a conclusive match. Adding more family participants (both grandparents or mother) usually clarifies results. Find tips at the CDC Family Health page.
