Escritura pública, and the registry
A Honduran power for significant acts is an escritura pública before a lawyer-notary, who keeps the protocol and issues a testimonio.
Powers used for property or company acts are inscribed at the Instituto de la Propiedad, and the inscription reference is what a counterparty checks. We reproduce it.
Consular powers, and the diaspora
Honduran consulates exercise notarial functions, and with very large communities in Texas, Florida, New York and Louisiana most Honduran powers in US files are consular.
A power signed before a US notary and apostilled must be protocolised in Honduras. We name the issuing office because the route determines what else is needed.
The enumerated faculties
Honduran powers enumerate faculties, and a disposal, a mortgage or acceptance of an inheritance must be expressly conferred. A general administration power does not reach them.
A registry examines the enumeration and refuses anything outside it, so the list is the operative part rather than boilerplate. We reproduce it clause by clause.
The identity number, and the apostille
Parties are identified by a thirteen-digit identity number encoding the department and municipality of registration and the year of birth.
Honduras joined the Apostille Convention, so a Honduran power for use abroad carries an apostille from the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores. See our Spanish page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
