How to Choose a DNA Testing Laboratory

Accreditations: AABB is the regulating body for the DNA paternity and family relationship testing industry. AABB’s accreditation is the gold standard for DNA testing procedures that ensures the quality and accuracy of any family relationship DNA test. Only the DNA test results produced by an AABB-accredited laboratory are legally admissible and accepted by immigration authorities such as USCIS and U. S. embassies overseas in a family-based immigration petition.

AABB does not accredit any laboratory that performs in-home or curiosity DNA testing. Beware of those laboratories that claim to be AABB accredited, but perform private in-home DNA testing. These laboratories and resellers do not comply with AABB’s policies and regulations. Therefore, test results coming from them would not be accepted by any USCIS field office, U.S. embassy, or legal court.
