Location Map
TestMark DNA's Byron collection site is Suite 101 at 404 W Blackhawk Dr, Byron, IL 61010, a locally owned lab collection center on Illinois Route 2. TestMark DNA orders and schedules each legal (chain-of-custody) collection there, and it is the network's closest site to Rockford.
Suite 101 at 404 W Blackhawk Dr is a locally owned lab collection center on West Blackhawk Drive, which carries Illinois Route 2 through Byron. TestMark DNA uses this suite for chain-of-custody paternity and relationship collections that it orders and schedules ahead of time. The building has more than one tenant: a nurse practitioner practice, Prime Revival Health & Wellness, lists its office on the lower level as Suite 1, so check the number on the door and look for 101. The UW Health Byron Clinic is a little east on the same road, at 230 W Blackhawk Dr. The same locally owned lab also runs TestMark DNA's collection site at 832 N Galena Ave in Dixon, 22 miles to the southwest.
Byron, a city of about 3,800 on the Rock River, sits at the junction of Illinois Routes 2 and 72. From Rockford, take the US 20 bypass west to the Route 2 exit and follow Route 2 about 12 miles south into town. From I-39, leave at Exit 111 and follow Route 72 west about 12 miles. TestMark DNA has no collection site in Rockford or anywhere else in Winnebago County, so this suite, roughly 13 miles southwest of downtown Rockford in a straight line, is the network's closest option for that area.
TestMark DNA collects legal DNA samples in Suite 101 at 404 West Blackhawk Drive in Byron, the closest TestMark DNA site to Rockford.

The Sample Is a Painless Cheek Swab
Collection takes about a minute. A trained technician rubs a soft cotton swab on the inside of the cheek for each tested party. No needles, no blood, no fasting required.

Children Can Be Tested at Any Age
Infants, toddlers, and minors are all eligible. The cheek swab is the same regardless of age. For legal tests involving a minor, the custodial parent or legal guardian must be present to sign the chain-of-custody form.

Pricing & Payment
DNA test pricing in Byron, Illinois depends on the specific test you need. Call TestMark DNA for a free consultation. We will confirm the exact price for your situation before you visit the collection site.
Pricing Varies by Test Type
Paternity, maternity, sibling, grandparent, immigration, and home kit tests are each priced differently. Legal (court-admissible) tests cost more than personal-knowledge tests because they include chain-of-custody documentation.
Not Covered by Health Insurance
DNA paternity and relationship testing is classified as a non-medical test and is not reimbursed by health insurance plans. Payment is collected directly at the time of testing.
Free Consultation
We walk you through pricing on the phone before you commit. There is no charge to call, no charge to ask questions, and no obligation to book a test after the consultation.
Discounts for Multiple Parties
Tests that involve additional parties (for example, a paternity test that also includes the mother, or sibling tests with multiple siblings) often qualify for a per-person discount. Confirm by phone before your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get a DNA paternity test in Byron, Illinois?
TestMark DNA has a certified collection site at 404 W Blackhawk Dr Suite 101, Byron, Illinois 61010. We schedule chain-of-custody (legal) collections here for you, and results are typically returned in 3 to 5 business days.
Do I need a doctor's order or court order for DNA testing in Illinois?
A doctor's order is generally not required. However, if you are a New York State resident, a prescription, court order, or ordering by other authorized persons is required by state law for all DNA identity or relationship tests.
Can DNA testing be done without the mother present?
Yes. A DNA paternity test can be performed without a sample from the child's biological mother. Including the mother's sample is preferred when possible as it improves accuracy.
How long do DNA test results take near Byron?
Results for a standard DNA paternity test are typically returned within 3 to 5 business days from when all samples are received at the laboratory.
Is DNA testing confidential?
Yes. All samples are packaged in tamper-proof bags and processed at an accredited laboratory with restricted access. Results are shared only with authorized individuals and are never released over the phone.
What type of sample is collected for a DNA test?
The standard sample is a buccal swab - a cotton swab rubbed gently inside the inner cheek. It is painless, non-invasive, and provides the same accuracy as a blood sample.
Will DNA test results be accepted in court?
Results from a legal DNA paternity test performed at an accredited facility may be accepted in court, provided the chain-of-custody form was completed according to laboratory guidelines. Non-legal test results are not intended for court use.
Is DNA paternity testing covered by health insurance?
DNA paternity testing is considered a non-medical test and is not covered by health insurance plans.
Where are paternity and child support cases handled for Byron residents?
Byron is in Ogle County, so court filings go through the Ogle County Circuit Clerk at the Ogle County Judicial Center, 106 S. 5th Street, Suite 300, in Oregon. For help establishing paternity or collecting support, the Illinois HFS Child Support Services office that serves Ogle County is the Rockford regional office at 175 Executive Parkway, Suite 107.
Is there a TestMark DNA collection site in Rockford?
No. The Byron site at 404 W Blackhawk Dr, Suite 101, is the closest TestMark DNA location for the Rockford area. The next nearest is 832 N Galena Ave in Dixon, run by the same local lab.
