The douche bag that was working on Friday May 8 wasted my time. I came in and stood at the doorway for about five minutes and when he switched customers, I kindly asked him if they accepted walk-ins. He said yes, they do, but I must wait for my turn. It was a little bit of a rude reply, but it didn't bother me. I waited for him to go through two more customers when he finally asked me how he could help me. I told him I needed a fingerprint scan for a specific license. He said he didn't know what form to give me and he couldn't help me. That conversation took about 10 seconds and it could've happened when I walked in the door, not after waiting there for over 15 minutes. That really pissed me off. I definitely will not be going back. read more

I came here to take my passport photo for a Canadian passport and it was so quick and easy. Canadian passport regulations are different and the sizes are different and they did it all quickly and correctly. I do wish they would have let me seen my photo prior and asked if I wanted to retake as I absolutely hated the one photo they took. And when I had my photo taken at Staples before they took a bunch and let me choose and then even redid them for me. The place is kind of tricky to get to just because of its location off of Balboa before it turns into garnett. And I don't think they have their own designated parking lot. I think we parked just in a public parking lot or it might have been the old Bank parking lot. I'm not sure but we were fine there for 15 minutes. The price was pretty good as well. I think I paid around $25 for the two photos. I recommend this place if you want quick and efficient. read more

Quick, easy, honest, in and out. I recommend this spot. $83 to get my notary live scan. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else.

Just an FYI: their website prices are not up-to-date. For ink fingerprinting the rolling fee is $25 and each additional card is $20. read more

$83 for fingerprinting for my DRE Real Estate Licensing, was literally in and out in less than 5 minutes!!

I am a physician and am licensed or at least getting licensed in all 50 states. I have had two fingerprint scans and actual inks and for some reason all rejected by the FBI. LOL, closet serial killer? Anyway, went to this location after recommendation from my licensing company and boy was it a breeze with Rhonda. She was very friendly, approachable, it took 10 minutes and I was done. All electronic digital, and it worked like a charm, finally! Thank you for this service. Direct fingerprint to card! I believe the only serve in San Diego that uses the cards directly! read more

100% recommen this business. I had a somewhat complex request involving ID verifications and state and federal fingerprinting for my foreign citizenship application.

The service was also appropriately priced. I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Alive Scan - Passport photo time - Notaries Near Me - San Diego, California

Super friendly and fast! I just walked in with no appointment and got my LiveScan done in about 10 minutes.

I called about having ink fingerprints done, and Luis was very helpful over the phone. The next morning Tom did a great job with no waiting and no drama. The first set looked fine to me, but he did a second set to make sure everything was perfect. I couldn't be happier with how efficiently they got it done. Don't bother going anywhere else, these guys are the gold standard in SD county. read more

Excellent service, Tom was fast, courteous and very professional. I forgot the form and he provided one at no additional cost. Thank you.

I needed a live scan for school and Magali was very helpful. After looking around different places, they were one of the cheaper options (2 fbi fingerprints for $38). Magali was very nice and explained everything to me thoroughly since it was my first time. She was accommodating and helpful and made the process a lot easier. I didn't know I had to mail it out myself, but she gave me an envelope that fits the prints since you can't fold the paper. Would highly recommend! read more

Amazing! I walked in at 4:15 and the person working there was so nice and fast. I had to get this asap and it was the only place around that let me do a walk-in so late on a Friday! read more

Quick. Friendly. Extremely helpful. Thank you Rhonda. I had to get fingerprints to renew my Ohio teaching license. Rhonda was knowledgeable about the entire process.

I needed to get a live scan background check and found Alive Scan through Yelp. Rhonda was very knowledgeable and friendly on the phone as well as in person. DOJ + FBI service ($67 if you pay in cash... $69 if you pay with card). Bring CASH! Rhonda went above and beyond to help with my report(s). I highly recommend everyone get a live scan background check completed every so often!!!!!!!! Mine was needed for a job, but I found an entry on my record that was not related to me. Apparently, I was a prostitute at one time, seriously. ( Police records are not 100% accurate ) I cleaned up my record, DOJ is SLOW with helping anyone, took around 6 months to clear my record. Went in for a second scan and now my record is clean. You just never know what may be on your record, SCARY! Thank you to Rhonda read more

Superb place fast service and the owner is super friendly. I was in and out in a sec. Thumbs up read more

I received a request for MANUAL fingerprints from my future employer. With everybody using electronic fingerprints, I did not know where to go. I called the Police Department and Sheriff, and they all declined to do them. I drove myself to Alive Scan, and it was such a breeze. They knew exactly what they were doing, and from everything from manual fingerprints to everything in between, they were awesome. If you need background check help, give them a call! read more

I came here on Monday afternoon (without any appointment) to get my live scan done. I'm new to the whole process and the lady there was so helpful. I called her ahead of time to ask for the price of a live scan + DOJ + FBI service (total $67 if you pay in cash... $69 if you pay with card). FAST SERVICE The whole process takes less than 15 minutes. PARKING This is the tricky part because the room is located upstairs in the building across from the Chase bank. I asked the lady and she said that I could just park in the Chase parking lot because you arent there for long anyway... but that made me a little nervous. Lucky, no ticket. AMAZING SERVICE Walk-ins are welcome and it was super quick/friendly service. Would recommend! read more

DO NOT give these bozos your business! I set up an appointment for 10 lawyers to do live scan fingerprints. I scheduled it directly with the technician, who confirmed that she would be here at 9:00. It is 9:48. At no point has she reached out to explain. At 9:18 I started to call the business, no answer. I left a message and no response either. The whole point of having someone come out is to save time for the attorneys and we have accomplished the opposite of that. read more

I had a really good experience here getting my finger prints done. Really nice staff! I parked on the street a couple blocks away
