FAQ · Testing Basics
How long do at-home test results take?
Published turnarounds cluster in two bands. Lab-visit services typically post results one to three business days after the draw. Mail-in kits typically quote two to five business days after the lab receives your sample — plus shipping time each way, which is the part marketing tends to omit. Paternity tests generally run one to three business days after all samples arrive. Every service publishes per-test turnaround estimates; treat them as typical rather than guaranteed.
