Depends on the office, and the guard on duty. I had no problem in San Francisco. Just give it a try at your local ASC.

Are walk-in biometrics ok in California? If so where??? Preferably Orange County or Los Angeles

Hi there.

Okay, so a quick question, did they already send you the date for your biometrics appointment?

If so, that letter states the place where your appointment will be...and yes, you can try to just walk in there any day of the week before the date of your appointment. If they are not too busy, they will do them on the spot, if they are, you can try going back another day, or just wait until the day of your appointment.

But, if you did not receive the letter yet, wait until you do, because that's where they tell you where to go, and having that letter is required during the appointment.

Once I received my letter, I just walked in a couple weeks before my appointment and got them done. My center was located in Pomona, California.

Cool, well in your letter it says where to go. Just walk right in, and let's hope they are not too busy.

:thumbs:

Good luck!

You can try a walk-in at any ASC, not just the one specified on your appointment letter.
