New York
New York State law requires that any biological specimen collected within New York and used for testing with health-related purposes must be processed by a laboratory that holds a New York State clinical laboratory permit. The law specifically prohibits labs without this permit from accepting specimens collected within the state.
While our tests are intended for informational and entertainment purposes only, our laboratory is located outside of New York and does not hold this permit. To ensure full compliance, we have chosen to strictly follow New York’s regulations.
You are allowed to purchase and receive our DNA test kit in New York. However, you may not collect or mail your specimen from within New York State. To comply with the law, your sample must be collected and mailed from outside New York.
Please note:
Any package postmarked from within New York will be discarded and not processed, regardless of where the sample was collected.
To stay compliant, please collect and ship your sample from outside New York State.
Maryland
Maryland has even more strict laws and we have chosen not to accept orders from Maryland.
