Legal paternity testing starts at $299. The service requires professional collection, participant identity verification, and documented chain of custody. Confirm the receiving organization’s instructions before collection.
Review paternity testing options and ask what is included in the selected service.

The test evaluates a possible biological mother-child relationship. Confirm the included participants, collection arrangements, documentation, and report-delivery requirements before paying.

Explore sibling DNA testing to discuss the family configuration.
Grandparent DNA Test Costs
At-home grandparent testing starts at $300. Legal grandparent testing starts at $399.
Confirm whether one or both alleged grandparents will participate and whether the laboratory recommends including the child’s mother or another appropriate relative.
Ask for a quote covering the actual participants and selected analysis. Do not assume the starting price includes every available relative.
Visit grandparent DNA testing and read DNA testing without the father for participant-planning questions.
Aunt or Uncle DNA Test Costs
Avuncular testing evaluates a possible aunt or uncle relationship with a niece or nephew.
GameDay DNA lists at-home avuncular testing from $300 and legal avuncular testing from $399.
Explain how the proposed aunt or uncle is biologically related to the unavailable parent. Confirm participant requirements and any additional charges before collection.
Visit avuncular DNA testing for service details.

At-home informational NIPP: $1,099 plus applicable tax and shipping.
Informational in-office NIPP: $1,299 plus applicable tax.

Current GameDay DNA NIPP deposits are:
$200 for at-home NIPP.

$400 for legal NIPP.
The deposit is applied toward the selected test’s total. It is not the complete purchase price.
Confirm the remaining balance, payment deadline, taxes, shipping, collection charges, and cancellation terms before scheduling.
For detailed budgeting information, read affordable paternity testing while pregnant.
Twin Zygosity Testing Prices
Twin zygosity testing addresses whether twins are identical or fraternal.
Ask GameDay DNA for the current price, included participants, collection instructions, and estimated processing time. The current main pricing page does not publish a specific twin-zygosity starting price.
Do not apply the sibling-test price automatically to a twin-zygosity order.
What About Ancestry DNA Test Prices?
An ancestry service may include family-history estimates, reference-population analysis, or database matching.
MedlinePlus’s ancestry-testing guide explains that methods and reference databases affect the information a service provides.
If that is your intended purpose, check the provider’s current product price, included reports, subscriptions, and optional features.
This article’s quoted GameDay DNA prices apply to the listed paternity, maternity, prenatal, and family relationship services. They should not be presented as ancestry-service prices.
Additional DNA Testing Fees to Confirm
The advertised starting price may not be the final amount due.
Depending on the service, additional charges may include:
Applicable state or local sales tax.
Kit shipping and return shipping.
Professional sample collection.
Collection-site or mobile-collection charges.
Additional participants.
Additional alleged fathers.
Maternal blood-draw arrangements.
Expedited laboratory processing.
Recollection, redraw, or additional analysis.
Case-specific documentation or services.
Ask for a written total that identifies what is included and what remains payable elsewhere.
If a separate clinic or collection provider is involved, confirm its charges directly.
What to Confirm for Official-Use Testing
Before ordering for a court, agency, attorney, or another official recipient, obtain its instructions.
Legal collection includes participant identification and documented specimen handling. AABB’s relationship-testing FAQ explains the role of validated chain-of-custody and traceability procedures.
GameDay DNA’s at-home informational kits are not intended for official-use matters. Select the appropriate process before samples are collected.
Read the legal paternity test process for documentation questions to discuss.
Verify the Performing Laboratory
Ask for the laboratory’s full name and confirm the applicable accreditation for the selected service.
Use the AABB relationship-testing facility directory to check its current listing. The directory identifies certain facilities accredited for collection and verification/reporting that do not perform the analysis themselves.
A collection address alone does not establish which laboratory will test the samples.
DNA Test Payment Options
GameDay DNA accepts the payment methods displayed at checkout or on the invoice for the specific order.
Options may include credit cards, debit cards, PayPal invoices, Square invoices, Klarna, and Afterpay. Availability varies by transaction and provider requirements.
Review GameDay DNA’s payment options before paying.
Third-Party Payment Terms
Klarna, Afterpay, and other payment providers determine their own eligibility, approval decisions, repayment schedules, and fees. GameDay DNA cannot guarantee approval or change those decisions.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s buy-now-pay-later guide explains the obligations involved in these installment arrangements.
Its guidance on payment-plan fees notes that late charges and bank overdraft or insufficient-funds fees may apply. Read the terms for the actual offer.
Will Insurance Pay for a DNA Test?
Do not assume that a relationship test will be reimbursed.
MedlinePlus’s genetic-testing coverage guidance states that coverage policies vary and recommends contacting the insurer before testing. That guidance concerns genetic testing generally; it does not establish coverage for a GameDay DNA relationship test.
Ask your insurer about the exact service, purpose, provider, authorization requirements, and documentation. Confirm GameDay DNA’s billing arrangements separately.
Review Privacy Before Purchasing
Ask how samples, identity documents, and reports are handled.
Confirm report access, retention periods, secondary uses of genetic information, and available destruction or deletion requests.
The FTC’s guidance on genetic-test purchases recommends reviewing privacy policies and data-sharing practices before buying.
Price should be understood alongside consent, privacy, and the intended use of the result.
Result Timing and Optional Rush Processing
Ask for the current estimate for your selected test.
AABB states that most relationship tests are reported within a week after all samples are received, although additional analysis can extend that period. Your laboratory’s case-specific estimate controls.
Confirm whether a rush fee covers laboratory processing, shipping, or both. Ask how missing paperwork, sample quality, or recollection could affect timing.
Read how long DNA test results take for additional planning information.
