If you are planning a Honduran consular service in the United States in 2026, it helps to know the cost before anything else. Passport, safe-conduct pass, proof of life, power letter, certifications, and other documents all have official fees worth checking before you book an appointment. This guide keeps it simple. It shows what you pay, when you pay, and which small detail can raise the total.
Most Requested Official Fees
Across the Honduran consulates in the United States, the consular fee schedule sets the base amount for the most common services. The biggest difference usually appears with the passport: applying at a regular consular office is not the same as applying at a mobile consulate. That one detail can change your budget quite a bit.
Key Detail: in the United States, payment for many consular services is handled by Money Order. The official fee schedule also states that cash is not accepted at consular offices, and documents must be presented in original form.

How Much A Honduran Passport Costs
The Honduran passport remains the most searched service at the Honduran consulates in the United States. For 2026, the official fee is US$ 60.00 for the 5-year passport at a consular office and US$ 75.00 for the 10-year passport. If you apply at a mobile consulate, the fee rises to US$ 78.00 and US$ 97.50.
There is one detail many people miss: applicants under 21 years old can only apply for a 5-year passport. That matters. If someone shows up expecting to pay for the 10-year version without being eligible, the appointment can quickly turn into wasted time.
Watch This Part: if the passport is requested because of theft, loss, or damage, the official fee schedule includes a US$ 50.00 Sworn Statement. And if you want the document mailed to your home, an extra US$ 6.45 stamp fee is added.
Are you going in for a passport and thinking you only pay for the booklet? Not always. Extra charges are what surprise people most often. That is why it helps to check the appointment details, the exact service name, and the final amount before buying the Money Order.
Registration And Certification Fees
When the service is related to birth, marriage, death, or divorce, the published 2026 fee is US$ 25.00 for each certification. These services are often used by families who want the event to be formally recorded in Honduras even though it happened in the United States.
- Birth Certification: US$ 25.00
- Marriage Certification: US$ 25.00
- Death Certification: US$ 25.00
- Divorce Certification: US$ 25.00
For a birth certification, the consulate often asks for the parents’ valid documents, the original certificate issued where the birth took place, and passport-size photos. In some cases, if another person will complete the registration in Honduras, a Power Letter also becomes part of the process.
The divorce certification deserves extra attention. The consular fee itself is US$ 25.00, but the process may continue later in Honduras and require a power of attorney, authentication, and other related steps. Put simply, the consular fee is not always the full price of the whole path.
Notarial And Support Service Fees
Some services are not requested every week, but when they are needed, they are really needed. This is where proof of life, sworn statements, power letters, authorizations, and powers of attorney come in. These are common in pension matters, family representation, minor authorizations, and document-based legal steps.
- Proof of Life: US$ 25.00
- Sworn Statement: US$ 50.00
- Power Letter: US$ 50.00
- Authorizations: US$ 50.00
- General Power of Attorney: US$ 150.00
- Special Power of Attorney: US$ 200.00
- Authentication: US$ 60.00
The proof of life is often requested by Honduran institutions that need confirmation a person is alive and living where they say they are. The power letter usually covers one limited action. A general power of attorney is broader. A special power of attorney, on the other hand, is tied to one specific matter and usually costs more.
The schedule also includes authentication, with a fee of US$ 60.00. This matters when a public document issued abroad needs to have legal effect in Honduras. If a person arrives without knowing that, the service can stall over one small missing step. That part really catches people off guard.
Other Fees Worth Keeping Handy
Not every question is about a passport. The official 2026 fee schedule also includes other amounts worth saving in one place:
- Safe-Conduct Pass: US$ 10.00
- Residence Application: US$ 10.00
- Signature Registration: US$ 20.00
- Document Certification Issuance: US$ 10.00
- Document Translation: US$ 30.00
- Single Visa: US$ 30.00
- Multiple Visa: US$ 60.00
- Open Will: US$ 100.00
- Closed Will: US$ 100.00
Many people do not look these up until the appointment is already close. Better to check them early. Something as simple as a signature registration or a document translation can solve a very specific need without forcing you to improvise at the last minute.
Payments, Add-Ons, And Small Details That Change The Total
At Honduran consulates in the U.S., the official schedule makes one point very clear: cash is not accepted, and office payments are usually handled by Money Order. That sounds minor, but it is one of the main reasons appointments get delayed when people show up with the wrong payment method.
There is another useful point too. Several documents issued at the consulate may later require authentication in Honduras. In those cases, the official information mentions an extra cost of L.150.00 per document during the authentication stage in Honduras. It does not apply to every service, but it shows up often enough to matter. So if your case continues there, do not build your budget using only what you will pay at the consular window.
Practical Tip: buy the Money Order only after you have confirmed the exact service name, the exact amount, and the office where you will be seen. If the name is wrong or the amount does not match, teh service may stop over a very small detail.
What To Bring So You Do Not Lose The Appointment
What should you check before leaving home? More than most people think. For many services, the basic rule is simple: original documents, valid identification, appointment confirmation, and the correct payment. When even one piece is missing, the process can slow down fast.
- Confirm the appointment in the official system before you travel.
- Verify the fee for the exact service, not for the one someone mentioned casually.
- Bring original documents. Copies can help, but they do not replace the original when the service requires it.
- Check whether photos are needed, especially for safe-conduct pass, proof of life, or sworn statement services.
- Confirm whether your case continues in Honduras after the consular step.
For passport, certifications, and powers of attorney in particular, it is worth reading the requirement sheet right before the appointment. Yes, even if you already saw it before. The small details are what decide whether you walk out done or walk out with another date.
