Location Map
In Stafford, Virginia, TestMark DNA schedules legal DNA collections at 385 Garrisonville Road, Suite 207, inside the Aquia Professional Village office condominium complex. The building is on Route 610, the road served by I-95 exit 143, and it is the only TestMark DNA site within five miles.
Aquia Professional Village, an office condominium complex at 385 Garrisonville Road in Stafford County, is where this collection site operates, in Suite 207. The complex is made up of professional suites, many of them medical, rather than a hospital campus or a shopping center. Suite 207 shares its numbered run with Potomac Otolaryngology, the ear, nose and throat practice whose Stafford office fills Suites 208 and 209, which makes a handy check when you are matching suite numbers on arrival. A commercial listing marketed Suite 207 as medical office space and pointed to its access to Interstate 95 at exit 143. Every collection here is ordered and scheduled through TestMark DNA, and the chain-of-custody paperwork we issue travels with the samples to the laboratory.
Garrisonville Road is State Route 610, and it crosses Interstate 95 at exit 143, a cloverleaf interchange between the Aquia Harbour and Garrisonville communities; ramps from northbound I-95 at that exit also connect directly with U.S. 1. No other TestMark DNA site lies within five miles of this address, and the closest alternatives are in Fredericksburg to the south and Woodbridge to the north, so this suite is the practical stop for northern Stafford County. When a test stems from a family case, the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court and the county Department of Social Services both sit at 1300 Courthouse Road in Stafford.
The Stafford DNA collection site is in Suite 207 of Aquia Professional Village, at 385 Garrisonville Road, just off I-95 exit 143.
DNA testing requirements in Virginia
Virginia does not require a prescription or doctor's order for a DNA paternity test. Under Virginia Code section 20-49.1, parentage may be established by a written statement of both parents made under oath, signed only after each has received a written and oral explanation of the rights and consequences, and either party may rescind within 60 days. Once final, that acknowledgment has the same legal effect as a judgment. Virginia also gives scientifically reliable genetic tests showing at least a 98 percent probability of paternity the same legal effect as a judgment. For a result to be used in court, the test has to be performed by an accredited laboratory with a completed chain-of-custody form, which means samples are collected at a certified site and everyone tested shows government ID. A home kit gives you a private answer but is not accepted for child support, custody or a birth certificate change. Call and we will confirm which test your situation needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get a DNA paternity test in Stafford, Virginia?
TestMark DNA has a certified collection site at 385 Garrisonville Rd Ste 207, Stafford, Virginia 22554. 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 Virginia?
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 Stafford?
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.
How do I get to the Stafford DNA collection site from I-95?
