I always prefer coming to Frank for fingerprinting and notary services. Recently, I came to get eight notarized signatures. I arrived about 3:10 and by 350 we were done. I didn't realize so much time had passed and that's because he's so pleasant to converse with. As we were getting the notaries completed, I had to call an attorney to get a little bit of information. He was so patient and helpful. I love that it's such a comfortable setting on his patio. I highly recommend Frank for any of these type services that you need. read more

This was a wonderful notary experience. Just goes to show you that years of experience makes a process so easy. I found WNS online, called and spoke with Mr. Frank Boyle. We scheduled an appointment for the next day but due to unforeseen circumstances, had to reschedule for the day after. Mr Boyle was very understanding (he was on his way when I called!) and accommodating. At the subsequent appointment, he was very professional and took care to explain the notary process to us all. Price was more than fair. We of course paid for the travel on the first day that we subsequently had to reschedule. No way were we going to not pay for his travel and time because of a problem on our end. All in all a great experience and I would highly reccommend! read more

Great experience! Very professional and helpful, and such a nice guy. Made the process quick and easy. Highly recommend!

I was referred to Frank by Bay Farm Elementary as AUSD requires a live scan as one of the prerequisites to volunteering. I called and Frank was able to provide appointments the same day - his office is outdoors/indoors on the porch right before Central when coming from Otis. It was $67 total, which was much more cost efficient than USPS, other places, etc. He said he keeps his prices low as a service to the residents of Alameda, which is very appreciated! read more

First off, the location is really nice and Francis has the whole set up on his front porch. He's a true professional. He's charming and engaging and keeps the process going smoothly. I've used his services now a few times and every time it's been great. read more

Second time coming here for a live scan -- excellent service! Frank was professional and efficient. He even had small drawing books for kids to keep them entertained while we handled business. read more

Called at 11AM and had a 4:45PM appointment, same day. Just $15 notarize 1 thing. Easy, friendly. Covered porch was just the cherry on top.

Quality, Value, and very professional work. I called up Frank and he answered right away, very flexible and helpful. If you ever need a scan this is the spot I would recommend!! read more

Francis was very quick to respond to my livescan inquiry! I was able to make an appt the very next day! Francis was very warm and welcoming - he gave me a discount since I applying to be a volunteer with AUSD. I will definitely be back if I need services again in the future. read more

Highly recommend getting your notary done with Frank, he's very fair and accommodating. Got quoted 159 from another notary in alameda for a mobile service and Frank came to the rescue faster and at a much fairer price. Thank you Frank! read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! Mr. Boyle is patient, professional, and accommodating. I always have a positive experience and appreciate the professionalism. read more

I have no idea why this business is marked as CLOSED?! I just visited Frank yesterday, and he is still offering all the notary services advertised on his webpage. We have used him for various things from lifescan and fingerprinting cards to real estate stuff. He's a delight and very, very knowledgeable, has fair prices, and always goes the extra mile. read more

I live in Idaho and I have had a family member in the hospital in the Bay Area for 9 months with Covid and related illnesses. The inital stay she was put in a coma with a ventilator. Because she had no documents giving anyone her powe to control her medical decisions it was a nightmare getting her treated. She is now needing an operation so she can finally get home with her two diabled sons. However, getting a healthcare power of attorney sign and notarized was a difficult matter given hospitals being closed to outside folks. Frank Boyle stepped in and because he knew his business and was willing to go to the hospital to get the documents signed and notarized our family is relieved that we have the proper documentation for the surgery. Thanks to Frank's expertise and willingness to go the extra mile we got a difficult task done from a long distance. You could not go wrong by using Frank read more

Frank is a lovely person who overcharged me and never responded to my polite texts and phone calls asking why he did that. Unprofessional and not okay. I mean that he gave me one price, which he didn't break down into particulars (two livescans), and then I found ged charged my bank more than ten percent more than the price he quoted me. This business is not closed, by the way. read more

Great service, gentleman was super friendly and he helped me out with my life scan he did everything super smooth and quickly. Can we also talk about how cheap he also is compared to other places I looked at for life scans also open on Saturday which is great definitely recommend coming here. read more

Great service. Quick and easy. Called to make an appointment. Got an appointment within an hour. Went in, had the best conversation with Frank.

Frank was so nice, he explained and gave me really good tips about the industry. read more

I needed my finger prints done asap and I was able to secure an apt right away! (Next day actually!!) He is so knowledgeable, friendly and quick. I definitely recommend Mr.Boyle and will continue to support his business! read more

Frank was great! He was very professional and pleasant to work with. Frank made our appointment on time and called me with statues updates. He was also quick and efficient. This was my first time working with Frank in a refinance deal and his part of the process was a successful one. Thank you Frank, I appreciate you! read more

Frank was an absolute lifesaver for my group yesterday. I emailed him late on Thursday night after normal business hours and he responded within an hour. We made arrangements for him to come to my site and have my staff fingerprinted the next day. He showed up when he said he would, and promptly got down to business. He was professional, very friendly, and obviously knows very well what he is doing. If I ever need LiveScan services again or any of the other services he provides, Frank will be the first person I contact. Absolutely amazing experience. read more

I had trouble getting livescan finger printed at UPS store and spent 45 minutes without success. I went to Western Notary in Alameda and he knew all the tricks at getting good scans. Success! I was able to get an evening appointment and the price was less than UPS. Super!! read more

So easy to find and with easy parking--always a plus in my book. The owner is personable and professional and I was pleasantly surprised by the quickness of the service. Highly recommended! read more
