If you live in Mission Bend, getting to Houston Fingerprint takes one road: Highway 6. Our office at 6124 Hwy 6 N, Houston, TX 77084 is about 12 miles straight north, with no freeway interchanges to navigate. Walk in, book a same-day appointment or have us come to you.
One Road, No Transfers
From Mission Bend, head north on Highway 6. You’ll cross the Westpark Tollway, then I-10, then Clay Road. Keep going until you reach West Little York, and our office is on Highway 6 N. Outside rush hour the drive usually takes 20 to 25 minutes. Leave extra time around the I-10 crossing on weekday afternoons.
A Community with Ties Around the World
Mission Bend is one of the most internationally diverse neighborhoods in the Houston area, with families from Latin America, South and East Asia, Africa and the Middle East. That shapes the work we do here. Many Mission Bend customers need documents that will be read in two countries:
- Certified translation of birth certificates, marriage records, diplomas and transcripts. Our certified translation services cover common languages for immigration, school and employment use.
- Apostilles so Texas documents and FBI reports are accepted abroad. See our FBI and state apostille services.
- FBI background checks for visa applications, overseas jobs and long-term stays. Start with our FBI background check service.
- Notarized travel consent letters when a child is traveling internationally with one parent or a relative.
A common combination looks like this: fingerprints for an FBI check, then an apostille on the report, then a certified translation for the destination country. We can walk you through each step so nothing has to be redone.
Notary Here Is Not a “Notario”
In many countries a “notario público” is a lawyer. In Texas, a notary public is not. We verify identity, witness signatures and notarize documents, but we cannot give legal or immigration advice or tell you which forms to file. If you need that guidance, talk to a licensed attorney or an accredited representative first, then bring the completed documents to us.

Estate Documents and Home Visits
Many multigenerational Mission Bend households have a grandparent who’d rather not travel. Our mobile notary can come to the home to notarize a will’s self-proving affidavit, a power of attorney or a medical directive once the documents are prepared. Every signer needs valid ID, and a typed Texas will generally needs two witnesses, so tell us who will witness when you book. We don’t draft wills or give legal advice.
What to Bring
- A valid, unexpired photo ID (a passport works if you don’t have a Texas ID)
- The fingerprint card or instructions from the agency, if you have them
- Original documents for translation or apostille. We’ll tell you if a certified copy is needed instead.
Mission Bend FAQs
Which languages do you translate?
We handle many common languages. Call 832-530-3652 or send a quote request with the document and language, and we’ll confirm before you come in.
Can you notarize a document written in another language?
A notary can notarize a signature on a foreign-language document in many cases, but some documents need a translation first. Bring it in or call ahead and we’ll tell you the best way to handle it.
I need fingerprints, an apostille and a translation for the same application. Can I do it all with you?
