DNA testing requirements in New York
New York is the one state where a DNA test cannot simply be self-ordered. Under New York State Department of Health rules, a paternity, maternity or other relationship test for a New York resident must be ordered by an authorized person, which means a licensed physician, an attorney or a court. Samples also have to be collected in person at an approved New York facility by a trained collector rather than taken at home. Paternity itself can be established by both parents signing an Acknowledgment of Paternity, or by an order of the Family Court under Family Court Act section 418, which can direct genetic testing. Because of the ordering requirement, New York residents should call before making any arrangements so we can confirm what your situation needs and how to obtain the order.

Pricing & Payment
DNA test pricing in Staten Island, New York 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

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get a DNA paternity test in Staten Island, New York?
TestMark DNA has a certified collection site at 1441 South Ave, Staten Island, New York 10314. 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 New York?
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 Staten Island?
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.
Which building at the Teleport is the Staten Island DNA collection site in?
It is Corporate Commons Three at 1441 South Avenue, the eight-story glass building in the Teleport business park that also houses Mount Sinai's South Avenue practices. The S46 and S96 buses stop on Teleport Drive at Corporate Commons.
