Mobile DNA testing anywhere in San Diego County
Can't get everyone downtown? Our collector comes to your home, workplace, attorney's office or care facility anywhere in San Diego County, with the same photo ID check, witnessed swab, sealed samples and chain-of-custody record as an office visit. The test costs the same; a travel fee, quoted by location before you book, is added at the visit.

Where we go
All of San Diego County. Most mobile visits are in Chula Vista, National City, Imperial Beach and the South Bay; El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, Lemon Grove and Spring Valley; Escondido, San Marcos, Vista, Oceanside and Carlsbad in North County; Poway, Rancho Bernardo and Mira Mesa; and Coronado, Point Loma, Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach. If you are in the county, we can come; the travel fee simply reflects the drive.
Who books a mobile visit
- Families with a newborn or a young child who would rather not bring everyone downtown.
- Attorneys and paralegals who want a legal chain-of-custody collection done at their office with the client, at a time that fits the calendar.
- Grandparents, relatives or a parent with limited mobility, in a home or a care facility, for a relationship test when the father can't be tested.
- Workplaces where the alleged father can step into a conference room for fifteen minutes.
- Anyone who wants privacy. A collection at your kitchen table is as private as it gets.
How it works
- Request it. Use the contact form with your city or ZIP, the test you need, who is being tested and a couple of times that work, or call.
- We quote the travel fee and confirm the time. The fee is fixed before you book, never a surprise at the door. A $50 deposit holds the visit and is applied to your total.
- Everyone is present, with ID. The same rules as the office: government photo ID for every adult, everyone tested at the same visit, and for a child under 18 whose parents are not married, the mother's consent. No food, drink, gum or smoking for 30 minutes before.
- The collection takes about 10 to 15 minutes. We complete the forms, verify ID, witness each cheek swab, label and seal every sample in front of you, and pay the balance plus the travel fee on one itemized receipt.
- Samples ship the same way. They travel with our collector directly to the overnight carrier; no one else handles them. Most reports arrive within three to four business days.
What we need from you
- A table or counter and a quiet room for the paperwork.
- Every participant present at the same time. If someone can't be there, tell us in advance; some cases can be split into two visits as an additional participant ($129), and we will say plainly if yours can't.
- Any court order or agency letter that describes what is required.

Mobile testing questions
How much is the travel fee?
It depends on where you are in the county and is quoted before you book, so there is nothing to negotiate at the door. It is added to the test price and paid with the balance at the visit, on the same itemized receipt.
Can you do a legal paternity test at my home?
Yes. Chain of custody is about the procedure, not the building: photo ID verification, a neutral witnessed collection, tamper-evident sealing and the custody form. A mobile legal collection produces the same notarized report as an office visit.
Can you come to the hospital after the baby is born?
Often, yes, if the hospital allows visitors for this purpose and the alleged father and the mother are both present with ID. Ask the nursing staff first, then send us the details. The mother consents for the newborn.
Can you collect from the father at his work and the child at home?
Sometimes, as two visits with the second person booked as an additional participant, and only when the laboratory confirms the case can be handled that way. Tell us up front and we will say plainly whether your case can be split.
Do you serve Chula Vista, El Cajon, Oceanside and Escondido?
Yes, and everywhere between. All of San Diego County is covered; the travel fee reflects the drive from downtown.
Is a mobile visit slower to get results?
No. The samples go from your location straight to the overnight carrier with our collector, so the laboratory receives them on the same schedule as an office collection. Most reports arrive within three to four business days.
