Passport 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 Instituto Nacional de Migración (National Migration Institute).

Renewing a Honduran passport involves scheduling an appointment with the immigration authority, submitting biometric data, and paying the required fees. The process is conducted in person, either at local immigration offices or designated consular offices for citizens abroad.

Your timing

It is generally recommended to begin the renewal process at least 3 to 6 months before the intended travel date or the expiration date to account for potential appointment backlogs and processing times.

Start 90 days ahead

This timeframe accounts for the need to secure a physical appointment slot, which can vary significantly depending on current demand at specific locations.

The process

  1. 1Verify current passport requirements and confirm if an online scheduling system is active for the chosen office.
  2. 2Pay the applicable passport fee at authorized banking institutions.
  3. 3Schedule an appointment through the official migration portal or by visiting the office, depending on current regional protocols.
  4. 4Attend the appointment in person to provide fingerprints, a digital photograph, and personal information.
  5. 5Collect the processed passport from the office or follow instructions for postal delivery if available in that jurisdiction.

What to bring

  • Current passport (original and copy)
  • Proof of payment of the renewal fee
  • National Identity Card (DNI) or relevant identification document
  • Appointment confirmation slip

Fees vary depending on the validity period of the passport (e.g., 5-year or 10-year options) and should be confirmed directly through the official Instituto Nacional de Migración portal.

What commonly goes wrong

  • Ensure that the name on the identification documents matches the name on the existing passport perfectly.
  • Verify if specific regional offices require additional residency documentation if applying from outside of Honduras.
  • Confirm the payment method, as some offices may not accept direct cash payments at the service counter.
