A member asked:
Are mail in non invasive prenatal paternity screenings not done in a medical setting considered valid?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Since "social issues" may be involved in paternity testing, the validity of a "mailed in sample" is questionable, since the sample may be not from the individual concerned. For "valid" results, a medical setting with photo confirmed ID is required.

Courts would likely insist on testing meeting a higher standard
