The only place in chicago to get... - jhoice - Jan 18, 2009
From the minute we walked into this place they started asking questions to find out exactly what we needed. The owner was there, he was friendly and concerned. He had an excellent young lady working with him who meticulously made sure the photo was perfect, correct background and cut exact. We could not have been happier. The consulate except that the photos in my passport is in process. I highly recommend this and the price is better than Fedex Kinko.
fast professional service - Nickname unavailable - Jan 8, 2009
The manager and his assistant were quick and freindly providing me and my wife with passport photos today - and at the end of the business day. Between Clark and Dearborn streets at busy Adams street in dowtown Chicago, it is convenient, fast, and painless in time and money. Try it, you will like it.
Fingerprints - _ - Jan 16, 2009
I recommend this business for fingerprints. I had a set of ink fingerprints done and it was completed quickly with no wait. The overall experience was good, the service was respectful and the price was excellent.
Highly recommended - thedoglvr - Oct 31, 2008
I'ma traveling OT and many times states require fingerprinting for state licensure. Many times, this is an expensive venture. Shah (at Chicago Fingerprinting) took great care of me and did 2 fingerprinting cards for under $20! I am used to paying $25/card at police stations. Also, Shah knows how to take the prints without the ink seeping deep into your skin - it actually washes off with soap and water so you don't have to scour your skin forever to get the ink off. I know he does passport photos too, and I plan to use this service to get my photos done. I highly recommend this business. It is run by prompt, courteous, and competent staff.
Helpful and Speedy Service! - Marie - Jan 22, 2008
I'ma traveling nurse and I frequently need fingerprinting done when I apply for a new state's license. This is the first time I used US Photo to get my fingerprinting done, and I believe that I will be coming back here again before my next assignment! The gentleman who worked behind the counter told me that he'd been doing this for 23 years, and his experience showed because he had my card and all the accompanying paperwork done in under ten minutes! Pleasant and quick service, and only one block west and one block south from the Monroe blue line stop was all I needed to know to know that I'll be using this place again!
Attentive, Friendly and Quick - LMGM - Jun 10, 2008
After mysteriously losing my own passport photos the night before a 9am appointment at the French Embassy, I found Mr. Shah's place on Google and noted both his very high reviews and (more importantly) early opening time. I was there at 8am when his store opened and he greeted me with a smile and quickly took my passport photo. He offered to make me a new photo free of charge if I didn't like it (I never like my ID pictures, so I didn't care much) and was careful to ask me exactly what kind of ID I was using these pictures for. Excellent service, I recommend him to anyone in need of "official" photos.
The best deal and best service in Chicago - sharon - Feb 28, 2008
I highly recommend Fingerprinting to anyone who needs fingerprints. Mr. Shah's prices are unbeatable, he knows what he is doing, and he's very friendly. He double checked my card to make sure I had filled it out correctly. I needed 3 sets of prints and they were done in minutes! There is no need to go anywhere else or even find anyone else to do this for you because this is the best deal and best service in Chicago. My company has tried several places and after finding this one, I send everyone here!
Thank you Mr. Shah! - lbernst - Feb 12, 2008
I got my finperprints done today. They were only $9! (Compared to $35 at some other places). The location at 125 S. Clark is easy to find and get to. I actually found parking on Clark Street- just 1 block down. The building is beautiful, and the service is unbeatable. Mr. Shah is a very smart man, and helped me with everything from doing my fingerprints to making sure they got in the mail for me! If anyone needs fingerprints, this is definitely the easiest place to get them done. Thank you Mr. Shah- you are a sweet man!
Fast, affordable and great service!... - joe - Mar 6, 2008
I had to get all sorts of pictures, fingerprints and notarized documents taken care of today and I couldn't have asked for a better place to get it all done in a matter of minutes. Not only that, the price was very fair (only a fraction of what other places around charge). If you ever need to get anything done for a visa or other type of legal document, this is the place to do it. Thanks a lot Mr. Shah, you were incredibly helpful and nice!
Great Finger printing, professional,... - KEVIN - May 31, 2008
I was searching online for a great place in the loop to get my fingerprints done for my new job training and I must say the gentlemen at this finger printing place was very pleasant and thorough. I was afraid that he would charge a lot to have finger prints done because its in the loop, and everything in the loop seems to be marked up because of the area, but surprisingly it was very affordable and it is a very professional place, and they do lots fingerprints for all the major firms downtown in financing, accounting, law, insurance agencies, and whatever else professional field that requires fingerprinting as a criteria for hire. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
Professional Service, Fast, Affordable - illinoisnick - May 28, 2008
If Google had sent me here first, I would not have wasted time finding out that UPS does not offer passport photos at most locations. US Photo is in the Marquette building, closer to the Clark St. side, and it is run by a real professional. Not only did he get my photos taken well and quickly, but the price is unbeatable. I even needed to scan the photos, and he was perfectly happy to do that as well. All businesses should be run as well as this one.
Fingerprinting? More like Fingerpainting! - Matt - Feb 6, 2008
No matter what the scenario, when you need official fingerprinting or a passport photo, you are going through a boring and potentially painful process. Fortunately for me, I was instructed to get my fingerprints at Fingerprinting. I was greeted by a delightful Shah (the owner) and he proceeded to keep the smile on my face throughout the entire procedure. It was also very inexpensive, only $9! I hear the competition charges almost double that, and they definitely don't have a Shah. I had ink all over my hands and I was laughing hysterically. I felt like I was fingerpainting, not fingerprinting. If that Dunkin Donuts across the hall was instead a bar, I would have taken the man for a pint. If you need these services, you must go to Fingerprinting.
Great service and price - gje - Jan 18, 2008
This was extremely convenient -- fast service and the price is fantastic. Two other people arrived at the same time I did; somehow he managed to help all three of us (two fingerprints, one photos) simultaneously, without any wasted time. I highly recommend this place, especially with their central location -- you can be in and out of there in minutes.
Great service, great price - siobhan.henry - Apr 8, 2008
Mr. Shah was so friendly, thorough and knowledgeable!! He's been in business 30 years and knows his stuff. I went there based on the reviews here in google and promised I'd write a good review based on the excellent service I received. Got 4 sets of fingerprints done today. A+++
Great Service! - Joe - Apr 23, 2008
The gentleman working the store was so friendly and helpful. The cost of the photos was extremely cheap compared to a set I had gotten a week prior at another store for over twice the price! The photo quality was not as good as the digital print I got originally, but it certainly would suffice for a passport or visa photo, and the gentleman working the store offered to retake it if I did not like it. Very friendly, quick service. I would recommend this shop absolutely unless you are in need of a very high quality photo print. Also very close to the US passport agency.
Thank you Google - Sushma - Jun 6, 2008
I needed photos and fingerprints cards for canadian immigration. I went to fedex, UPS and a few more other places but could not get it done. I looked in google and found US Photo in chicago downtown. Their professional service is very good and its affordable. They are excellent at what they do. You say what you need the fingerprints or photos for and they know what exactly is needed. I got the fingerprints cards in about 10 mins and photos in about 5 mins. I strongly recommend this place.
Awesome, friendly and quick! - Grishanth - Apr 26, 2008
Mr.Shah is your one stop center for all your fingerprinting and passport photo needs - very quick and friendly service. I recently got my fingerprinting done as well as my passport photos, and he was very helpful in getting my photos done. We took a few, and the first batch of pics was not to my liking, Mr. Shah just replaced it without another word until it came out great! Seriously, the customer is king at US Photos!
Great service and price! - Nickname unavailable - Feb 18, 2008
The best place for fingerprinting downtown! The owner, Mr. Shah, is a really nice guy, he has the best rates in the city ($9 per card compared to $25), and he does a very thorough job. If I ever need prints again (or passport photos), I'll definitely be going to Mr. Shah's place.
Don't go anywhere else!- Chris - Feb 12, 2008
Mr. Shah runs the cheapest and easiest fingerprinting shop in Chicagoland. Not only did save me (and my company) over $80, or give me (my fiance) a free Valentine's Day gift, but he is one of the nicest and most genuine people I have come across in quite a while. Thank you, Mr. Shah!
Great place to be fingerprinted - scarbego - Mar 4, 2008
This is a great location to be fingerprinted. It is located right in the middle of downtown, close to everything. The price is right, the best in the city. In addition, the staff knows alot about the fingerprinting process. It should be on the top of the google list as far as I am concerned. Thanks to them, and good luck to all.
Fingerprinting Guru! - Edgar - Feb 12, 2008
This place was absolutely fantastic. Not only were the prices very inexpensive, but Mr. Shah was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. He had me laughing while I had my prints done. He also guaranteed that his prints would never be rejected. I will definitely recommend to all of my other friends. Thanks again.
Great customer service! - Nickname unavailable - Apr 4, 2008
The ridges on my fingers have worn down and it was difficult for me to get a clear print, but he made sure I had a good double set of fingerprints so there wouldn't be any issues. Thanks so much! I will be back for his notary services.
Quick, Easy and Perfect - Chris - Feb 17, 2008
Not only did Mr. Shah know the requirements of my state bar for fingerprinting, but he was also a perfectionist. On a cold Chicago day, apparently your fingers can get too cold to give a perfect print. Mr. Shah took the time to redo a number of my prints so as to get them absolutely right so his part of my Character and Fitness app wouldn't get it bounced back.
Great and Fast service and unbeatable... - Jasvinder - Feb 1, 2008
The one stop shop for Great, fast, lowest price for photo, notary, fingerprinting in chicago land area. I just could not believe that I got all three services done in 15 minutes. The staff and especially Mr Shah is Very friendly and helpful. I would recommend you all for this shop and enjoy the benefits.
Quick and Painless - Greg - Feb 22, 2008
I was able to get my fingerprinting done very quickly and effortlessly. The owner was very kind, and was very understanding. He instructed me on what to do, provided a place to wash and dry my hands, and knew how to fingerprint correctly and quickly. Afterwards, I was able to wash my hands again! The price for the quality can't be beat, I would say!
