Why Obtain an Official Paternity Test rather than a home paternity test?
Even if you do not intend to use your DNA paternity test in court, circumstances may change and you may want to use it in court at a later time. Also, you may eventually need an official paternity report for such things as health insurance or Social Security benefits. Whenever possible, it is much better to have the specimens collected in a way that allows the test to be used as an official document if necessary. In that way you avoid having to pay for another DNA paternity test whenever the need for an official DNA paternity test arises.
