Al’s Fingerprinting & Photography Service

Best place for passport photos indeed. Never going to COSCO/​CVS/​WALGREENS after this,
I was in need for an urgent photo and was not disappointed.
Picture Quality is great

I needed to get a Live Scan fingerprint background check for my caregiver application. I planned to go to Long Beach police dept but they didn’t have any available appointments for several weeks. They referred me Al’s Fingerprinting. When I got there, I was the only customer. I was done in under 10 mins. The fee is $ 5 cheaper if you pay cash. Very easy & quick!

Closed, but no word of it on their website at all.

Best place for a passport photo! Fast, great service, & they make sure your photo looks good. Only open a few hours on Saturday so you gotta catch them between 12 – 2. They also do Live Scan in case you need fingerprinting.
It’s too bad I only see them every 10 years…

Went in at 10am for fingerprinting on a card and, went out at about 10 mins later. fast easy and reliable!

I needed to get an old school fingerprint card inked for my series 7 & 66 licenses. The service was quick and easy. Remember to bring cash because they don’t accept credit or debit cards. However, they do have an in house ATM machine if you don’t mind paying fees to get cash.

Very cool lady. Handles business quickly and efficiently. Photo didn’t turn out to her liking so she took another :) Highly recommend.

I had to get finger printing done to mail out an application. I came here on a Friday afternoon at 4pm, it was a quick and easy in & out process. The USPS Post Office is also right down the block (2 minute walk), so the location is very convenient.
This is a «mom & pop» shop that offers friendly service.

I went yesterday to get a $ 5 passport photo, since this place is up the street from the post office. The racist lady first said that I had to have the $ 5 exact, and that I could go to the ATM to get it. She also gave me a banana, which I found strange, and maybe she was trying to imply something because I am black. I am also German and, since I only get my passport once every 10 years I expect that they get it right the first time. The first picture was nice and in color, and when I went to the post office the clerk informed me that it was too big. I had to walk all the way back and the snotty lady did not even apologize and handed me off to a coworker that gave me a worse picture and took my mistake picture. I found this especially insulting! Do not go here, since they cannot even get the simple things right. What are they going to do with my picture. Post it on their «mistake» wall! 5 624 896 348

I went in on a Saturday at 11am but got lucky that Al was there (even though thy open at 12) he was happy to help me! Was very fast and efficient in the fingerprinting and is also so nice! Fingerprinting is $ 15. But he also have me the forms I needed to submit my record check application. He is the nicest man!

If you live inLB area, this is the place for passport photos. Service and price are great. Better yet, they photo and give you your pictures right away. Saves you another trip for pickup. Thumbs up!

The service and the knowledge of the fingerprinting was 5 star. Don’t even bother with any other place –worth the drive

Quick and efficient, a good place to get your fingerprinting done. I’ve come here twice and brought K here as well. They are cash only, so make sure to bring your bills or you’ll be stuck using the private ATM and getting charged a service feed. The lady is nice and reimburses you the $ 3 the store charges but Chase still slapped me with a fee on their end.
They are quick about getting you in and out and do both livescan and regular ink fingerprinting. There’s a tiny bathroom in the back to wash your hands after. Street parking only, so bring quarters!

I have used Al’s for many things in the last year. They are always fast and very friendly and they also have very good prices. I travel a lot, and I always wait until I am near Long Beach so I can go to Al’s when I need their type of service. Thanks Al’s!

Fast, friendly, efficient. Highly Recommended for passport photos, fingerprinting, etc. priced right, too!

Since I was required to submit fingerprints for a job I tried the sheriff’s department and was turned down. After a little bit of digging around I found this place. I don’t have another place to compare it to but by reading other reviews here on Unilocal I can truly state I was completely satisfied with the service. The lady that helped me was very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. She had me out of there in about 15 minutes with my fingerprints. I definitely plan to come back in the future.

I’ve been using this place often on for 20 years. I’ve gotten passport photographs, fingerprints, background checks, the whole 9 yards. Staff are friendly fast and efficient, and the prices are great; all reasons that I keep coming back; plus it’s great to support a long-​standing local business!

quick fingerprinting for applications thanks

Went in here to get something notarized on a Saturday afternoon. The guys working there were pretty cool and took care of things straight away.
I got one document with one signature notarized for $ 10 and a small conversation on how we’re being nickeled and dimed to death by the gummet!
Unfortunately the only parking is lame meter parking.

Friendliest guy in town. Notary, passport pics, fingerprints — you name it and he’ll do it. Great experience.
