Paternity appraisal is one of the items of judicial appraisal. No matter what the purpose is, it is recommended to go to a local formal judicial authentication institution. According to the website of Jiangsu Provincial Department of Justice, the only formal institutions that can do paternity testing in Suzhou are the Judicial Appraisal Center of Suzhou University and the Judicial Appraisal Institute of Suzhou Municipal Hospital. At present, many institutions claim that paternity testing can be done, so it is recommended to choose carefully to avoid being fooled.

For paternity testing due to immigration, notarization, household registration or litigation, it is necessary to bring the party's ID card or household registration book or birth certificate to the judicial authentication institution for relevant entrustment procedures. For the parties who personally doubt the parent-child relationship, they can bring their own samples (such as blood stains, hair, oral swabs, etc.). ) to handle the entrustment procedures, they can conduct anonymous appraisal without providing personal documents.

The acceptance procedure first needs to sign the entrustment agreement, risk warning sheet, collect the blood samples of the parties and make corresponding video records. Pay the appraisal fee and agree on the way to receive the report. The cost is generally around 3000 yuan, so be careful whether it is too high or too low.
