Travel Authorization for Minors Entering Honduras
Please be advised that the age of majority in Honduras is 21 years old. Therefore, anyone under the age of 21 is considered a minor and may be required to present a travel authorization letter when entering the country alone or without both parents.
This document is strongly recommended for all minors, regardless of nationality, and may be requested at the discretion of Honduran immigration officials.
Requirements:
If the minor is traveling alone or with someone other than their parents, the letter must be signed by both parents.
If the minor is traveling with one parent, the letter must be signed by the non-traveling parent.
The authorization must be:
Notarized
Officially translated into Spanish by a certified translator
Authenticated by Global Affairs Canada or a provincial authority (e.g., Service Ontario)
Only once these steps are completed can the Embassy authenticate the document.
Important: This requirement applies to Honduran citizens, including children of one or both Honduran parents, even if the child holds a different nationality or has not yet acquired Honduran citizenship.
We strongly advise travelers to prepare this document in advance to avoid issues upon arrival in Honduras.
Attention
Starting January 11, 2024, Canada has joined the Apostille Convention. Therefore, Canadian documents can be apostilled by the Canadian government for use in the 124 member countries, including Honduras. This means that most documents will not require an apostille from our embassy to be valid in Honduras, and vice versa. If your document has already been apostilled by a local government entity and officially translated into Spanish, it does not require a Honduran apostille.
entry of pets
1. Individuals wishing to travel accompanied by their pets (dogs and/or cats) must present to the quarantine inspector the pet, the vaccination certificate or booklet, and the current veterinary medical certificate of health (International Health Certificate in original and legal-size copy). The certificate must have the veterinarian’s full name, signature, seal, and the date it was issued.
2. The vaccination booklet must contain the animal’s age and species, the dates of immunizations, showing the type and brand of the product used, which will be recorded through the product sticker in the vaccination booklet.
Vaccinate and deworm within 30 days prior to the embarkation date (internal and external parasites).
The vaccines must be:
Dog:

-Influenza
Cats:
-Feline Panleukopenia

The veterinary medical certificate must state that the animal has been inspected and identified at the time of embarkation by a veterinarian, who has found it to be in normal health condition, without presenting tumors, fresh wounds, or wounds in the process of healing, nor any signs of quarantinable or transmissible diseases or the presence of ectoparasites.
Pets must be placed in special cages or boxes that have been washed and disinfected before use.
Individuals attempting to import dogs and/or cats for commercial purposes need to request an import permit, presenting a copy of the veterinary medical health certificate and vaccination booklet prior to their arrival in the national territory, and they must hire the services of a veterinarian to carry out fiduciary quarantine for a minimum of 10 days.
