Torrance's volunteer program also requires this so off I went. Plenty of parking. They make it easy and convenient to get you finger printed.

Review #994 2026-064…read more Staff: Chris & Trina South Bay Chinese School utilizes #1 All Safe & Secure Live Scan Fingerprint for their staff & volunteers. It's located on the west side of Village Plaza, along Vista Montana, between Chantal Skin Care & Mega Acupuncture & Herb. The purpose of mandatory live scan fingerprinting is to ensure the safety of students by conducting thorough, state-verified criminal background checks, fulfilling CA legal requirements for people working with minors to prevent child abuse & foster trust with parents & the community. SBCS asked me to come in on a Friday afternoon for the live scan after the school year ended; not sure if they made an appointment prior but I was able to walk-in. The office is small with a couple of chairs in the waiting area, & no one was there except for me; even so, it took a few minutes for them to call me in to get my fingerprints after I completed the paperwork & showed my CA driver's license. I went to the restroom to wash my hands, then I was given Corn Huskers Heavy Duty Oil-Free Hand Treatment Lotion on my fingers, & placed each finger on the scanner that captures high-resolution images of my prints. I had to re-do my thumbs a few times, & my index finger a couple of times, adding more corn huskers lotion. Chris had to squish my thumbs, rolled it a few times because they didn't read well. It felt awkward due to my hand positioning & I wanted to adjust my position to be more comfortable, but couldn't/didn't since it may shift during scanning. I explained to him that my hands are usually dry & cracked from overwashing; I later learn that this may strip the natural oils & cause rejected prints. The lotion is used in live scan to moisturize dry skin & enhance the print quality, making faint/worn fingerprints more legible. The whole process took less than 15 minutes, & I was done & out. Once fingerprints are captured, they're transmitted electronically to the CA Department of Justices (DOJ), & the agency (my son's Chinese school) will receive the results directly in a few days. I don't know the cost since SBCS was covering the live scan. The process was quick & easy, though general pleasantries exchanged would be nice & polite. Not sure if appointments are required but advisable in case you're on a time constraint. If you're in need of live scan services, I recommend #1 All Safe & Secure Live Scan Fingerprint.

We appreciate the reliable service and attention to detail. Convenience & Speed: Thoughtful in offering a large table/desk with chairs for customers needing to sit down to do their business, other places only offer all transactions over the counter, disregarding senior customers' special needs and disabled needs. Postal Solutions has shorter lines and multi-carrier drop-offs (handling USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL in one place) We have used many of Postal Solution's services if not all during our long association of 24 years with them. We have 2 different businesses and almost daily use their services.

I originally thought I would be stuck trying to figure out all the forms but that was not the case. Alex helped make the whole experience stress free! One of the other things I also really appreciated is that Postal Solutions provides both a purchase receipt email as well as package shipment notification email. I found this super helpful! I agree with all the positive reviews that Postal Solutions has because they truly deserve it! I am thankful to Postal Solutions and to Alex for helping my mom and I and for making the whole passport renewal process so easy.

I loved coming to this place for my EMT live scan! Via, the fingerprint tech, is an absolute gem. She's incredibly sweet and provides outstanding customer service. The conversations with her are always entertaining, and she radiates positive vibes that make you feel so welcomed. I genuinely enjoyed talking to her during my visit. It's no surprise that most EMTs and ambulance agencies send their employees here for their yearly live scan. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a professional and friendly experience! read more

I went there, for a job I did not keep. What I did keep was thoughts of her kindness. Very professional, at the same time a very easy vibe, the music, the room when you walk inside is very clean. She welcomed me with a smile, and my face started to hurt from smiling so much. She is that sister, that aunt, that friend you do not see enough but cherish the time you do spend. She even shared her muffin with me. I hope if I ever have to get fingerprinted again, she does it. Thank you Ms. Via C. Fisk read more

First of all, they are one of the few places that still do ink figure print cards. Secondly, the lady that did my prints was supper nice! I went in on a Sunday, not knowing that Sundays are for appointments only, but because I caught her just in time as she was heading out, she accommodated for me. She goes out of her way to make sure that you are treated well. Highly recommend. read more
