It should be noted that paternity testing in the household registration area is judicial paternity testing. The institution that can do judicial paternity test must be recognized by the local judicial bureau. Please ask the local household registration department if there is a designated institution before doing the appraisal. It is not a report of a designated institution and will not be recognized. If you want to do judicial paternity test, you need to provide valid documents, such as adult ID cards and children's household registration books. The appraiser must be present in person to take photos and take samples. In addition, some places need parents and children to do it together, so be sure to ask the household registration department clearly.
The cost of judicial paternity test is RMB 2,500-5,000 (different regions, different appraisal institutions).
Paternity test is the freedom of citizens and does not require the consent of any department; However, if criminal or civil cases are involved and a judicial appraisal report is needed, according to the corresponding judicial procedures of the state, the appraiser must issue a power of attorney from the public security, procuratorate, court and other organs or law firms.
The provincial price bureaus have regulations on the service fees for judicial expertise. Before you go to the paternity test, you should also check the charging standard. It is doubtful whether it is too high or too low.
In addition, the Price Bureau stipulates that it is forbidden for any department, unit or individual to collect management fees, business introduction fees, agency fees and other fees from judicial authentication institutions, and offenders will be investigated and punished according to arbitrary charges. Therefore, if you encounter such charges in the preparation or appraisal of paternity test, you have the right to refuse and report.
Finally, paternity testing has a great influence on families, especially children, and it needs absolute caution and confidentiality. No matter what the appraisal result is, we should pay attention to the psychological protection of children.
