Great experience with FNL. Francisco was extremely kind and quick. I didn't have an appointment and he sat me after FNL was supposed to close. Very quick and efficient fingerprint taking. Highly recommend! read more

I had multiple different photo requirements and it was no problem. Super friendly customer service. The Covid safety precautions were also great! read more

It took 2 cvs and 2 wallgreens to finally confirm that they do not really do european format passport photos. Avoid that and go straight to FNL. Great service, attention to detail and very interested in getting the photos exactly as they were required so there would not be any rejections. It was fast and easy! read more

I've been here twice in the last few months for photos and notary services, and plan to visit a third time today because Francisco is that good. I visited the first time to simply get a document notarized for my application to become a Belizean national. I had already visited the Belizean Consulate once already and had discovered they have very strict rules about notarized documents, but Francisco completed my notarization by the book and my document was accepted. I had originally planned to visit another notary in the same building, but when I arrived I found out that his office was closed for the week, so I went upstairs to Francisco and he managed to fit me in after one of his appointments despite the fact that it was nearing his closing time. The second time I visited, I needed a second document notarized and photos because the Belizean Consulate officials would not accept the ones I had originally taken at Walgreens. First of all, the photos came out MUCH better than the ones I took at Walgreens. Even my mom sent me a message afterward saying the photos were "on point." They were also MUCH cheaper. To top it off, one copy came out with a barely noticeable imperfection, so Francisco reprinted it and gave me the "damaged" one for free. Francisco's professionalism and pride in his work has earned him a loyal customer, which is why I'm going to be visiting again today (visa photos for another country. Thankfully the Belize application is done). Discovering his office has been an incredibly fortuitous mistake. read more

Notary and photos together took 16 mins. Professional, fast and very friendly. Make sure you book an appointment before visiting. The price is also very reasonable. 5-star recommendation. read more

Went to FNL for Live Scan fingerprint service. Very easy to make an appointment online, and pleasant and efficient service. After I received the document from the CA DOJ I had a question and sent an email on Friday evening, to which I received a prompt response. Highly recommended! read more

I needed the old-fashioned ink-rolled fingerprints for a state medical board license, and it was hard to find a place (most places only do live scan fingerprinting). Even the SFPD no longer provide ink fingerprinting. This guy is able to transfer the live scan prints onto the ink fingerprinting cards so you get high quality prints without the mess. I wouldn't go anywhere else. He is so professional and fast and courteous. His location is really convenient, and it was very easy to make an appointment on his website. Highly recommend. read more

FNL is really a great deal for services. Their staff named Francisco is very helpful and very patient in assisting us and answered all our questions! Very satisfied and they have exceptional customer service! All in all, very professional. read more

I couldn't think of a better experience with a notary. I was able to make a same day appointment online on the website within a few hours of the appointment. You can do walk-ins also, but he gives priority to those with appointments.The office is located right by the Powell station, so it's super convenient if you work downtown and need to get something done during the day. The office is tiny, but everything is well-organized and clean. Francisco is extremely competent, organized, and knows what he's doing. He gets right down to business and is quick and efficient. After 10-15 minutes, I was all done and on my way. He takes credit cards payments, including Apple Pay. I'd definitely come back here for any other notary services, fingerprinting, passport photos. Reasonable prices too, at $10 for notarization, which is standard. But way more pleasant than having to go to UPS or somewhere not as efficient. Highly recommend this place! read more

Very professional and accurate in providing photos in various formats. Would recommend this in SF area.

5 star friendly, fast service. Got both my U.K. And US passport photos here. One man shop on the 10th floor of the Flood building. He knows all of the country requirements and gets it done! I was a walk in, he also takes appointments. Much better experience than a Walgreens. read more

I came here to get photos for my green card application. He was very friendly, took great care and he even printed an extra one because one of them had a tiny imperfection. I also enjoyed the online system to make appointments - it made the whole process very easy and convenient. I definitely would come here again for passport photos or any other of the services he offers. ¡Y también habla español perfectamente! read more

Every time I switch firms, it's required by finra/sec to get fingerprinted. So here I am again. Fast and efficient. $21 as of December 2016. I came as a walk-in, but it's probably best to make an appointment online. I rather come here than a UPS store because this guy actually knows what he's doing. read more

Outstanding customer service, walked in without an appointment by chance and we were accommodated quickly for passport photos. Very friendly, professional and efficient. I believe you do need an appointment but we were very grateful he took us as we flew up to SF for a visa appointment and needed photos an hour before the appointment because the photo machine at visa place was broken. Super thankful he helped us out! Would highly recommend! read more

-Came for finger prints and passport photo for the CA CPA application -Easy online reservation -Convenient downtown location -Francisco was extremely professional and friendly -Very thorough and hygienic with the finger print system -Comparable rates and offered to re-do the fingerprints for free if they failed to go through -It does get a little stuffy in that room on warm days, but that's my only complaint read more

I went here to get my fingerprints done for my nursing license. The confirmation email was very confusing so I called for clarification. I received no answer but immediately received a text message stating that they were busy and to respond to that. I explained my issue and got no response. I show up to my appointment and ask for a key for the restroom, the guy shows clear agitation and shakes his head even though I'm 30 minutes early to my appointment. At the time of my appointment, he asks for paperwork that I clearly don't have because the email says paper or email. He is very rude and non accommodating. I will take my business elsewhere read more

Very professional. In and out in 5 mins. Plus knowledgeable about specs for different requirements

Walked in for fingerprinting. No reservation or call-ahead required. Francisco is fantastic - very cordial, polite, and friendly. He is experienced and did a very thorough job with the fingerprinting. Price of service is fair and affordable - I called a few other businesses around Market Street who also provide fingerprinting services, but they charged at least $10-15 more for the same service. Will certainly return in the future as needed. Highly recommend FNL for anyone who needs to get their fingerprints done right and quickly! Just a heads up the office is located on the 10th floor of the flood building. read more

Francisco was great! Best passport photo service in the city. He even checked to make sure it worked for my Visa on the US gov website.

I just got a live scan fingerprinting done here today for a volunteer requirement and the process was quick and painless. The owner Francisco Nakasone was friendly and responsive. I filled out the form online to make an after-hours appointment at 7pm and he responded within a few minutes to confirm the same-day appointment. I arrived a few minutes early and we got started right away. The office was small, but very clean. Francisco entered the information from my paperwork quickly and I was able to verify the accuracy of the information he was typing as the monitor was facing me. Before starting the scan, he wiped down the machine. He also wore gloves and wiped the machine down between scans to ensure clear prints. We were done in less than 20 minutes (it might have taken longer than normal because my fingers kept sliding). He was very patient with the sliding, which I'm grateful for. At the end he charged me $20 for the live scan and accepted credit card. He also gave me a printed invoice and a copy of the paperwork. I would definitely come here again for a live scan. read more

This was the best experience I've had getting LiveScan fingerprints. It was quick and efficient. Even with redoing a few of my fingers, I was out in about 10 minutes. Friendly customer service and no waiting...I made an appointment ahead of time. Very convenient. read more

Francisco was clear and prompt in all responses to my email inquiry regarding mobile fingerprinting services. He arrived to my office building on time with all the necessary equipment to complete services for 12 individuals. He was friendly, kind and extremely professional throughout all interactions. My colleagues and I highly recommend Francisco and the FNL team! read more

Me Tamashiro was fast and fantastic! I was in and out with no issue, further, the Flood Building has parking in the back allowing a quick and easy appointment. read more

I went to FNL for a live scan. It was super easy to make an appointment online. I was really impressed by how professional and smoothly everything went! They had a clever way to check my paper and id without touching them directly. They were prepared with lotion for my dry hands so my prints would show up better. There was liquid sanitizer in an automatic dispenser, and surfaces were wiped down before I entered the room. read more

Quick, easy, fast, and affordable. Perfect for anyone that works in the FiDi, Soma, or Embarcadero. I went during lunch (made an appointment) and my entire time spent at FNL was about 15 minutes. Highly recommend Francisco! read more

In the past 1.5 years, I've had to do digital fingerprints twice. Each time, the process was slow, the machine had a lot of issues, and I just generally found the process annoying. When I needed to get my fingerprints redone, I was initially going to go back to my local UPS store but they no longer did fingerprinting. So, I found FNL. What a difference this was. Appointments were done painlessly online. We showed up, the owner was courteous and professional. There weren't any issues with the fingerprinting system, and we were out of there within 40 minutes (compared to 40 minutes per person, before). To boot, a day or two later, I realized that I had forgotten to get a receipt. I emailed them, and an hour or two later, he send over a pdf of it. Super easy. Will easily go back if I need to do fingerprinting again. read more

Excellent office. Great service. I went in for some live scan fingerprinting and it was a breeze, very easy, good pricing, good all-around. Thank you! read more

Francisco is very helpful and professional. Francisco comes highly recommended. Francisco is very knowledgeable about notarizations of affidavits, declarations and acknowledgements, and other California forms. read more

Francisco was punctual, pleasant and very knowledgable. What a lovely person! I had to get hardcard fingerprints and I was first instructed to contact the local police department - turns out, they don't do that anymore so I needed to make an appointment and the next one they had was A WEEK AWAY. I needed to get my stuff done ASAP so I looked at FNL's appt schedule and he had same day openings, how lovely! I showed up and he was able to knock them out in 15 minutes (police department told me it was going to take an hour). He even used the card WA state sent me. I will also mention that his prices were cheaper than the police department. I feel like I won the lottery today. Thank you Francisco! read more

Great service, just as advertised. You can reserve an appointment online. In my case I was getting photos for my immigration application​. I got that done in less than 15 minutes end to end. read more

FNL was incredible... Francisco really knows how to take fingerprints and I've been to a lot of places for fingerprinting. The office is very clean and easy to get to and Francisco has all the latest equipment. I would highly recommend him for fingerprinting, notary or photos or live scan read more

Needed to get a fingerprints livescan and found FNL via Yelp. Francisco was very welcoming and went through the process very thoroughly, making sure that my prints were good. The scan was $21, but he did say when I called beforehand, that depending on the scan, there may be extra government fees. But mine was just the $21. The process took no more than maybe 15 minutes. Very glad that it was open on Saturday and I was able to just walk in. The office was small, but very organized and clean. Francisco was also very hygenic in wearing gloves for the process and provided me hand sanitizer before I started. Tip: The entrance is right next to Anthropologie on Market Street. When you go in, you sign in at the front desk and they will direct you upstairs. His office is on the 10th floor. read more

Okay I realize that a notary is a strange business to feel strongly about - but he is wonderful. I work in a heavily regulated industry and have needed many fingerprint cards, notarizations, and other services and he always gets it done carefully, quickly, and with an attention to detail that means I don't have to re-send important documents. Further the office is like a peaceful and well organized sanctuary allowing a brief escape from the madness of downtown. You can walk in but I would use the online booking system which is great and allows for rescheduling. read more

Super fast, clean, and efficient. Highly recommend. Really convenient that you can make an appointment online, and he was really responsive via text. Very professional, friendly, and detail-oriented. read more

Francisco was very friendly and easy to work with in order to get notary and fingerprinting done efficiently. Super professional and experienced. No need for ink for any prints. Book a 40 minute slot if you have more than 2 requests. I'll be back! read more

I made an appointment online to have my fingerprints scanned the same day I went in. When I arrived, I realized I also needed passport pictures taken. Francisco said it would be no problem and did both fingerprints and passport photos in 15 min! Excellent service and such a nice guy! I would definitely return! read more

FNL - Business card! - Notaries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Francisco was professional, quick, and produced an excellent set of Italian passport photos. He had a copy of the Consulate's guidelines and followed them exactly. His equipment from the camera to the lighting to the computer and printer were all excellent. With an online reservation, I was out of there in 5 minutes. Highly recommended! read more

Decided today to see where I could get my fingerprints taken in order to accept an out-of-state job. Wanted to get it done in a timely manner but didn't expect it to be as seamless as: 1. Look on the website and schedule my same-day appointment online and verifying that the service offered fits my needs 2. Take BART and get off at the Powell St station; FNL is just steps away from the exit 3. Spend 15 efficient minutes filling out paperwork and getting things done Great service and would recommend Francisco to anyone needing to get their fingerprints taken. -Alan read more
