On the day of your appointment

These instructions and tips will help make your fingerprinting appointment as seamless and stress-free as possible.

  • Arrival: Be sure to arrive about ten minutes before your appointment. This will give you time to clear City Hall security and to check-in at the Career Center front desk, located on the first floor of City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Pl, Room 110.

  • Getting to the office: Parking in the downtown area surrounding City Hall is very limited. We highly suggest utilizing public transit. We are easily accessible from the Van Ness Muni Metro stop and the Van Ness bus lines. We are also a short walk from the Civic Center BART station.

    To enter City Hall, you will need to go through security screening, including a metal detector and bag check. When entering from the Polk St. entrance, Room 110 will be on the left.

  • Employee ID Photo: During your visit, we may take your photo for your disaster service worker (DSW) ID (Employee ID). This may happen before or after your fingerprints are rolled.
