No. The DNA tests are exactly the same. The difference is that legally-binding tests require a witness, proof of identity, and special chain of custody procedures. The basic Home Test Kit therefore is not legally binding. It is intended as a discrete and private way whereby families can resolve questions without involving outside parties.
