I'll keep it short. I went in for Canadian passport photos; the standards for these
photos are very demanding. On a previous passport application (while making
use of another photo agency) my passport photos were rejected several times
by the Canadian regulating agency. I paid for new photos each and every time. To
ensure that this didn't happen to me on his watch, the owner of this business
provided me with several free copies of passport photos. Further, the cost of the
original set was 50% of what I had been previously paying elsewhere. While
briefly waiting for him to attend to a doctor who was in a hurry, the owner urged
me next door to grab a coffee on his dime. I also had an opportunity to meet his
wonderful family, had some great laughs, and chatted with some other happy
customers. The quality of his photos were first-rate. To date, I've now used this
business three times for other affairs and family members with the same
consistently excellent service. In another year, my family's passports will need
to be renewed. Without question, we will go here.

Went here today to get fingerprinting done for an FBI check and I was taken care
of immediately. Prints came out looking very good and I was on my way in 15
minutes. Definitely will use this place again for all of my passport/visa needs. The
whole staff was very nice.

SHAH IS THE BEST! Wonderful one stop shop! What a funny, HEART-WARMING
guy! Had my entire job of immigration photo's, brother's foid card photo, and
notary done in 10 minutes! He is the cheapest around and thanks you for your
business above and beyond! GREAT prices and WONDERFUL people to help you
out every step of the way. They very FRIENDLY and professional! Shah and his
staff know the requirements for every country and with their digital photography
system, their service is accurate! I absolutely recommend this place for
photographs, notary, fingerprints. You're the best Shah! On another note, the
post below is absolute nonsense! "Prema", you seem to be the ignorant fool out
of everyone spreading lies and rumors that belong to the mind of a high school
gossiper. Consider, out of all of this you are the 1 person who has something bad
to say from of the over 130+ great ratings. I believe this is the work of a liar and a
person who is trying to bring down a good man, good business, and a true
establishment of great, friendly service and low prices.

Shah was very friendly and professional when I went to get fingerprints taken for
a guardianship application. I was in and out in about 15 minutes and the price
was better than I had expected (just under $10). I don't see why I would ever
need to get my fingerprints taken again (barring committing a felony) but if I do I
will definitely return here. They also do passport photos and notary services.

I coordinate an AmeriCorps program with 35 members. When we have to do
state and federal background checks we go to A Fingerprinting U.S Photo. The
people there are knowledgeable, friendly, fast, and very helpful. Their prices are
very reasonable as well. I highly recommend this business!

Deven ‎ - Dec 10, 2011
If you need finger printing or passport photos go to this place!! The staff is

Finger Printing is very, very thorough & professional. The owner really knows his
business and has a lot of integrity. I wish I went to him the first time I needed a
passport picture for Canada. Originally I had the pictures retaken 3 times at
another place until I finally found Finger Printing. The owner took the time to
follow the passport pic requirements exactly. Thank you so much!!

Amazing staff. They were so nice and very helpful. I needed to get prints done
