Notarized Permission in Honduras for Birth Certificate

The notarized permission is done before presenting yourself at the consulate to request the birth certificate. You must go to the nearest Honduran consulate and process a notarial document that serves as permission and will be used by your representative in Honduras to collect your birth certificate in Honduras, and then they can send you the document physically or via email.

We inform you that the chosen representative needs to be a lawyer or family member; they must present themselves at the offices of the National Registry of Persons in Honduras because that is where the authorities are to request this type of permission.

It is important to mention that to carry out your legal procedures abroad, you must authenticate your birth certificate at the Secretariat of the National Registry of Persons of Honduras and apostille it at the office of the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

Print the Birth Certificate

Below is the process to print the birth certificate using the mobile application:

1. Access the App Store or Play Store from your device and download the app called “SIN RNP”.
2. Open the application and select the option “Print Document”.
3. Choose the option “Request Birth Certificate”. If your device is Android, you will be asked to select the scanner quality according to your phone’s camera capacity.
4. Next, use your phone’s camera to scan the barcode that appears on your identity card.

The app will ask if the birth certificate you want is for you or your child (you can request for first-degree relatives). If it’s for you, the certificate will be generated automatically. If it’s for your child, select the option “Descendant”, enter your child’s identity number, and confirm.

The system will verify the data, and if everything matches, the certificate will automatically be saved in the “My Certificates” folder. If there’s an error in the data, you will receive a notification explaining the problem.
