Notary Service & Fingerprint: Everything You Need to Know in Houston

Notary Service & Fingerprint: Everything You Need to Know in Houston

Introduction

Whether you’re finalizing legal paperwork, signing a power of attorney, or applying for a job requiring fingerprint clearance, combining notary services and fingerprinting in one stop can save you time and stress. In Houston, professionals and individuals alike frequently need both services—sometimes in a single visit.

At HoustonFingerprint.com, we specialize in both notarization and ink & roll fingerprinting services, offering a one-stop-shop for background checks, legal authentication, licensing documents, and more. This guide breaks down what each service entails, who needs them, and how to make your next appointment simple and efficient.

What Is a Notary Public?

A notary public is a state-appointed official authorized to witness the signing of important documents, verify identities, and deter fraud. Their role is to ensure that parties entering into agreements do so willingly and under the law.

Common Notarized Documents:

  • Power of attorney
  • Real estate deeds
  • Wills and trusts
  • Contracts and affidavits
  • Medical authorization forms

At HoustonFingerprint.com, we offer walk-in and appointment-based notary services for both individuals and businesses.

What Is Fingerprinting?

Fingerprinting is the biometric process of capturing an individual’s fingerprints, typically for identity verification or criminal background checks. While Livescan is now common, ink and roll fingerprinting remains essential and often required by various agencies—especially at the federal and international levels.

Types of Fingerprinting Services:

  • FD-258 ink fingerprinting for FBI checks
  • FINRA cards for the financial industry
  • State-specific cards for licensing boards

Our facility is equipped for both notary and fingerprinting services, helping you complete multiple requirements in one visit.

Who Needs Notary & Fingerprinting Services Together?

Many clients don’t realize how often these two services are needed together. Here are some common examples:

✅ Immigration & International Travel

  • Visa applications often require fingerprinting and notarized affidavits or identity confirmations.

✅ Employment & Licensing

  • Applying for healthcare, law enforcement, or education positions? Many state and federal agencies require both services.

✅ Legal & Estate Planning

  • Power of attorney or custody documents may need to be notarized, while background checks might also require fingerprints.

✅ Business and Real Estate Transactions

  • Contracts, financial authorizations, and ownership transfers often require notarization and sometimes fingerprinting for authentication.

Save Time with a One-Stop Appointment

Running between offices to get your documents notarized and then heading to a separate location for fingerprinting is inefficient—especially when your time is valuable.

At HoustonFingerprint.com, we simplify this process with:

  • Notary and fingerprinting in one location
  • Flexible scheduling, including walk-ins and same-day availability
  • Mobile service options for groups and corporate clients
