Apostille for extracts from commercial register of Honduras
If you want to submit a document from Honduras to courts or authorities in another country, it requires legalization. Honduras acceded to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents in 2004.
This means that no diplomatic authentication or legalization of documents from Honduras is required for legal transactions in another member state of the Convention. The documents only need to be provided with an "apostille" by the authorities of the issuing state in order to be used in the destination state. The apostille confirms the authenticity of the seal and signature, but not the authenticity of the contents.
You can order an extract without mandatory registration or subscription. Just complete our form and our employees will investigate for missing information, provide you with the extract, translate it to English and deliver the original, the translation as well as the bill for our services to you via mail.
