How Does Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) DNA Work? The Science Explained
During pregnancy, fetal DNA circulates in the mother’s blood.
With NIPP, a safe maternal blood sample is collected and compared to the alleged father’s cheek swab.
Advanced genetic analysis provides clear answers without invasive procedures.
Testing as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy—no need to wait!
Why is NIPP safer than traditional methods?
NIPP avoids extracting amniotic fluid or tissue—no risk of miscarriage, no jeopardy to mother or baby (NIPP safety explained).

Georgia DNA Testing Requirements and Legal Information
In Georgia, individuals seeking to establish paternity have several resources at their disposal. The Georgia Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) provides services to assist parents in establishing legal paternity, including genetic testing if necessary. Hospitals and birthing centers offer parents the opportunity to complete voluntary acknowledgment of paternity (VAP) forms shortly after a child's birth. Legal aid organizations and family law attorneys can also provide guidance and representation for those navigating the paternity establishment process through the court system. These resources are vital in ensuring that children in Georgia have the legal recognition and financial support they deserve from both parents.
Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing (NIPP) in Georgia
What is Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) Testing in Georgia?
Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) testing is a safe DNA test that uses a blood sample from the pregnant mother and a cheek swab from the alleged father to determine biological paternity with no risk to the baby or mother. In Georgia, paternity (legal fatherhood) is established under Title 19 of the Georgia Code and through procedures run by the Division of Child Support Services (DCSS), which describes how paternity is established on its Paternity Establishment page.
How does NIPP testing work in Georgia?
A certified laboratory analyzes fetal DNA from the mother’s blood and compares it to the alleged father’s DNA, typically producing a very high probability of paternity (often 99.9%+ for an inclusion). Georgia law requires that all court‑ordered parentage‑determination genetic tests be performed by laboratories certified by an HHS‑approved body, and that genetic testing in paternity cases follow the standards in O.C.G.A. § 19‑7‑45 – Genetic testing, which specifies qualified testers and timing when the action is filed before birth.
Who can request prenatal paternity testing in Georgia?
Since July 1, 2015, DCSS is required by law to order genetic testing in all newly established child support (IV‑D) cases where paternity is not yet established or the applicant alleges someone else is the father. The DCSS Paternity Establishment page explains that either parent may apply for services and that DCSS will schedule genetic testing as part of its administrative or judicial paternity procedures.
Is NIPP testing court-admissible in Georgia?
When NIPP is collected with full chain-of-custody and processed by an appropriately accredited lab, its results can satisfy Georgia’s requirements for “parentage-determination genetic testing” in paternity cases. Georgia law creates a rebuttable presumption of paternity when scientifically credible parentage‑determination genetic testing shows at least a 97% probability of paternity, as summarized in O.C.G.A. §§ 19‑7‑43, 19‑7‑45, 19‑7‑46 and discussed in the Social Security Administration’s Georgia paternity policy and PaternityUSA’s Georgia DNA testing law overview.
What does NIPP testing cost in Georgia?
Informational (peace‑of‑mind) NIPP through GameDay DNA usually starts at about $1,099 for an at‑home prenatal kit, which you can order from the GameDay DNA prenatal peace‑of‑mind page.
Legal, court‑admissible NIPP with full chain of custody typically starts around $1,499 through GameDay DNA’s legal non‑invasive prenatal paternity service.
For standard cheek‑swab testing in DCSS cases, the current DCSS policy is that if the alleged father is confirmed as the biological father, he must reimburse DCSS for the paternity testing fee, but if he is excluded, the mother who applied for services (unless on TANF/Family Medicaid or a relative custodian) repays the fee, as described on the DCSS Paternity Establishment page.
How quickly are NIPP results available in Georgia?
Most NIPP tests provide results in about 3–5 business days after the lab receives all samples, and some services offer expedited processing for urgent situations. Typical turnaround and rush options are outlined on the GameDay DNA non‑invasive prenatal paternity testing page.
Does insurance cover prenatal paternity testing in Georgia?
Most health insurance plans treat prenatal paternity testing as elective and do not cover it, so families usually pay privately or use payment plans. DCSS pays initially for genetic testing in IV‑D child support cases but recovers costs from the confirmed father or, if he is excluded, from the custodian (with exceptions for TANF/Medicaid recipients and certain relatives), as noted in DCSS policy on the Paternity Establishment page.
Where can I get NIPP testing or an at-home kit in Georgia?
Georgia families can order an at‑home NIPP kit for informational use from GameDay DNA’s prenatal peace‑of‑mind kit page. For legal, court‑admissible testing, they often go through DCSS or work with accredited DNA collection sites, and the Paternity Establishment page explains how DCSS orders tests in new child support cases; private law‑firm guides such as “How Can DNA Testing Help Establish Paternity in Georgia?” also explain court‑ordered testing options.
How do I update a child’s birth certificate after legal paternity is established in Georgia?
If both parents of a child born out of wedlock agree, they can sign a Paternity Acknowledgment at the hospital or later at the State Office of Vital Records or a county vital records office to add the father’s name without a court order, as explained in Georgia Legal Aid’s guide “What should I know about changing a birth certificate?”. When paternity is established by a court order (for example, through legitimation and paternity proceedings in Superior Court), parents bring a certified copy of the order and a request for amendment to the Office of Vital Records, following instructions from resources like “How to Get Father’s Name on Birth Certificate in Georgia” or local amendment packets such as Gwinnett County’s Birth Certificate Amendment packet.
