How much does a paternity test cost?

The cost of a paternity test varies depending on the type of test. First of all, for personal paternity testing, the cost of a one-to-one father-son or mother-daughter test is 3,200 yuan. If it is a three-person test (father, mother, son or daughter), you need to pay 3,300 yuan. This identification method pays attention to privacy protection and can be conducted anonymously without providing documents. However, the report does not have legal effect and is only used as a reference for personal understanding or appeal.

In contrast, the cost of judicial paternity testing is more clear, with a doublet test costing 3,200 yuan and a triplet test costing 3,300 yuan. When conducting a forensic appraisal, a real-name entrustment must be made, and the person being appraised must be present in person with valid certificates. The results of this kind of appraisal have legal effect and can be used for judicial purposes such as court evidence, litigation, notarization, immigration, and household registration. It is a more formal and authoritative choice.

For special circumstances, such as fetal paternity testing, the cost is usually 4,200 yuan per case, but an additional amniotic fluid surgery fee is required. The cost of a regular paternity test is roughly between 2,400 yuan and 3,200 yuan, and the specific price may vary by region. Therefore, when choosing paternity testing services, please choose the appropriate testing type and related costs based on your actual needs and budget.
