Me and my daughter Maria Mercedes went to the diagnostic lab here in Angeles City for a paternity DNA test. We should get the results back in about 14 days. I want to add the report to the stack of paperwork I’ve already put together for her and Forrest G.
At Quest Diagnostics, the cost of the test is 20,160 PHP which is roughly $400 USD. This test and the documentation is obviously beneficial if you have children here and have yet to apply for their CRBA.
Take note that when you apply for your child’s CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad), the U.S. Embassy can and may require you to conduct a DNA test via their protocols and procedures.
