From Tuesday, November 17, to Sunday, November 22, 2026, we will work on updating this latest generation platform, which has real-time interconnection and advanced biometric blinding.

The authorities urge citizens to plan their procedures ahead of the temporary suspension of the passport service at national and international level.

Tegucigalpa Migration authorities Honduras today, at a press conference held in the Presidential House, announced the update of the Passport Delivery System, the Comprehensive Migration System (SIM), an advanced technological platform that will enter into force on Monday, November 23, 2026.

In order to execute the data migration and the final technical configuration of this tool, the suspension of the passport service, at national and international level, was confirmed, from Tuesday, November 17, to Sunday, November 22, 2026.

During this temporary interruption, no travel documents shall be processed in any centre of care in the territory of Honduras, airport delegations or consular offices abroad.

For this reason, the state institution invites the citizenry to review the validity of their documents and plan their actions with due anticipation, thus avoiding setbacks in their travel plans.

System Bonds

The arrival of the SIM represents a leap in quality and innovation in State services by unifying national and consular management under the same parameters of speed and efficiency.

The new technological architecture stands out for its direct and real-time connection with the National Registry of Persons (NPR) database, which completely eradicates manual identity verification processes.

Automation will also reduce the waiting time for users at the service windows.

In the area of documentary security, the platform introduces advanced biometric technology through the Automatic Identification System of Dactylar Footprints (AFIS), blinding the passport against any attempted fraud or identity supplantation.

This technological effort ensures that each document issued complies strictly with the international standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO Doc. 9303), guaranteeing a much more agile, secure and reliable transit through the borders and airports of the world for all of Honduras.
