Driving licence renewal in Honduras

Written from published rules on 27 August 2026. Not monitored for changes since. A starting point, not official advice — confirm anything that matters with Dirección Nacional de Vialidad y Transporte (DNVT) / National Directorate of Road Safety and Transport.

Renewing a Honduran driving licence involves presenting the current licence, passing a mandatory medical physical and vision examination, and paying the designated renewal fee. The process is conducted in person at designated transit authority offices.

Your timing

It is recommended to begin the renewal process at least 30 days before the current licence expires to account for potential wait times at service centers and administrative processing.

Start 30 days ahead

This buffer helps avoid the risk of driving with an expired licence, which is subject to fines and potential impoundment.

The process

  1. 1Schedule an appointment or arrive at a DNVT office or designated mobile unit.
  2. 2Complete the mandatory medical and vision examinations at an authorized clinic.
  3. 3Present the required documents and proof of payment at the service counter.
  4. 4Provide biometric information, such as a photograph and fingerprints, if required by the system.
  5. 5Collect the new driving licence once processed.

What to bring

  • Current driving licence (original and a copy)
  • Valid national identification card (DNI)
  • Proof of payment for the renewal fee
  • Certification of medical, vision, and hearing examinations

Renewal fees are set by the Honduran government and vary based on the validity period of the licence (e.g., 1, 2, or 5 years); confirm current prices directly at a bank authorized to collect DNVT payments.

What commonly goes wrong

  • Ensuring all traffic fines are paid in full, as an outstanding debt can prevent the renewal process.
  • Verifying that the medical certificate is issued by a clinic officially recognized by the DNVT.
  • Checking that the personal information on the current licence matches the national identification database exactly.
