Saturday walk-in Live Scan: downtown Oakland vs East Oakland / Fruitvale
Who this is for: You have a California Request for Live Scan Service form (BCIA 8016) and you need fingerprints this Saturday as a walk-in in Oakland. You are choosing downtown versus a shop on Fruitvale Avenue. You are not hunting a new city.
Not for: Readers who want every Oakland Saturday walk-in in one list. Use Saturday walk-in Live Scan in Oakland. TSA PreCheck / IdentoGO (different vendor). Anyone expecting a hand-drawn neighborhood map. This page does not invent a downtown–Fruitvale boundary.

How this was verified
Shop rows are only Oakland street-address locations whose California DOJ Public Live Scan Sites hours include Saturday and Walk-in(s) (accessed 2026-09-02). Neighborhood labels are not a map we drew.
- Shops: CA DOJ Live Scan locations, Alameda County + dedicated DOJ detail pages linked in each row (accessed 2026-09-02)
- Address-to-tract: U.S. Census geocoder on the unchanged DOJ address (onelineaddress, accessed 2026-09-02)
- Tract names: City of Oakland General Plan EJ Racial Equity Baseline Appendix Table A-1 (PDF, accessed 2026-09-02)
- Downtown wording: Downtown Oakland Specific Plan (accessed 2026-09-02)
- Operator pages used only for gotchas already flagged (Certifix cash/card; PrintScan conflict). They never created a row and never created a neighborhood label.
Nobody was called. Nobody was emailed. DOJ itself says to confirm hours and fees before you go. If a cell could not be verified, it is marked UNVERIFIED or CONFLICT.
How the split works
Three buckets. Shops are not forced into downtown or Fruitvale to make the comparison look even.
- Downtown (2 shops). LPG sits in Census tract 4031, which the city names Downtown/Old Oakland. Allscan sits in tract 4030 (Chinatown). The city says Chinatown is “an important part of Downtown Oakland.” ZIP 94607 is also West Oakland, so LPG is downtown because of the tract name, not the ZIP alone. We are not claiming Allscan sits inside the DOSP polygon.
- On Fruitvale Avenue (1 shop). Copy USA’s DOJ address is 3423 Fruitvale Avenue. That street name is the assignment. The city’s tract name for that address is Oakmore South, not Fruitvale. City Fruitvale labels (cultural district, Carmen Flores rec center, Table A-1 Fruitvale tracts) are 94601. This page does not say Copy USA is in the Fruitvale district.
- Elsewhere in Oakland (4 shops). Piedmont Ave Central, Adams Point East, Montclair North, Woodminster. Listed so we do not hide Saturday walk-ins. Not counted in either comparison column.
The city’s East Oakland Neighborhoods Initiative list (Melrose, Elmhurst, Sobrante Park, Brookfield, Stonehurst, Coliseum area) contains none of these 7 Saturday walk-in shops. We did not stretch “East Oakland” onto Woodminster or Oakmore.
Go / no-go before you leave
- Form first. The requesting agency fills the ORI / OCA / job title. A blank 8016 from the internet is usually rejected. DOJ: Applicants.
- Unexpired photo ID. Expired IDs are not accepted (DOJ applicants page, accessed 2026-09-02).
- Two fees. (a) Rolling fee = the shop’s price in the table. (b) DOJ/FBI processing = extra, amount depends on your agency. There is no honest single “Live Scan costs $X” number.
- Cash vs card. Certifix lists $45 cash / $47 card. Copy USA’s DOJ row says additional service fees may apply (no dollar). Card surcharge $ at Copy USA is UNVERIFIED.
- Store hours ≠ fingerprint hours. UPS pages advertise shipping. Live Scan Saturday hours are the DOJ column.

Still skip appointment-only / weekday-only
This split page does not duplicate the full skip list. Oakland Saturday appointment-only rows (Aisha’s Mobile Notary, All In One Mobile Notary, Better Taxes & Consulting, Crowell & Associates, Peaches’ Playhouse) and weekday-only rows are not Saturday walk-in.

Results go to the requesting agency, not to you (DOJ applicants page). Keep the yellow copy / ATI number. If prints reject, resubmission rules are the agency’s, not the shop’s.
FAQ
How did you split downtown vs Fruitvale?
We did not draw a neighborhood line. Each shop keeps its DOJ street and ZIP. The U.S. Census geocoder returns a Census tract for that address. The City of Oakland Table A-1 name for that tract is the neighborhood label. Downtown = LPG in Downtown/Old Oakland plus Allscan in Chinatown (city: “an important part of Downtown Oakland”). The Fruitvale Avenue column is Copy USA because the DOJ street contains Fruitvale. Copy USA’s city tract is Oakmore South. We do not call it the Fruitvale district.
Which Saturday walk-in shops are downtown?
Two, accessed 2026-09-02: LPG Live Scan at 524 7th Street (city tract Downtown/Old Oakland) and Allscan at 409 13th Street, 6th Floor (Chinatown; city treats Chinatown as part of downtown). Piedmont Avenue, Grand Avenue, La Salle Avenue, and Redwood Road are not in this count.
Is there a Fruitvale Saturday walk-in?
One shop on Fruitvale Avenue: Copy USA, 3423 Fruitvale Avenue, Saturday walk-in 10:00 am – 3:30 pm, rolling $35.00. That is a street name on the DOJ row, not a claim that the shop sits in the city’s Fruitvale district (94601). Card surcharge $ is UNVERIFIED. DOJ says additional service fees may apply (no dollar).
What about Piedmont, Grand Lake, Montclair, and Redwood Road?
They are Saturday walk-in on DOJ and they are listed under elsewhere in Oakland. City labels: Certifix @ UPS #3270 = Piedmont Ave Central; UPS #1821 = Adams Point East; UPS #0243 = Montclair North; UPS #7098 = Woodminster. None of those names are downtown or Fruitvale Avenue, so they are not in either comparison column.
Cheapest / earliest Saturday walk-in downtown?
Cheapest downtown rolling: Allscan $23.00 (Saturday 10:00 am – 12:00 pm; 6th-floor Saturday access UNVERIFIED). Earliest downtown open: LPG 9:00 am, rolling $30.00.
Cheapest / earliest Saturday walk-in on Fruitvale Avenue?
Only Copy USA is in that column: rolling $35.00, Saturday 10:00 am – 3:30 pm. There is no second Fruitvale Avenue Saturday walk-in on DOJ tonight.
Are UPS store hours the fingerprint hours?
No. UPS pages advertise shipping / notary hours. Live Scan Saturday hours are the DOJ column. UPS “open 7 days” does not mean Sunday Live Scan. UPS #7098 is a PrintScan CONFLICT (appointment-until-proven).
Do I get the results?
No. Results go to the requesting agency, not to you. Keep the yellow copy / ATI number.
