5 Critical Steps To Secure Your Appointment Via Asuntosconsulares.inm.gob.hn (The Official Honduras Consular Portal)
The official portal for Honduran Consular Affairs, asuntosconsulares.inm.gob.hn, is the single most important online resource for the Honduran diaspora seeking essential government services abroad. As of December 21, 2025, this platform, managed by the Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) in coordination with the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores y Cooperación Internacional (SRECI), serves as the centralized, *free* system for scheduling appointments for a wide array of consular procedures. This guide cuts through the confusion, providing a fresh, step-by-step roadmap to successfully navigate the ACOS (Aplicación de Citas Online para Servicios Consulares) system and secure your required documents without falling victim to costly third-party scams.
The Honduran government has significantly streamlined its consular outreach, particularly in high-demand areas like the United States, Spain, and Mexico. The implementation of the ACOS system via asuntosconsulares.inm.gob.hn is a direct response to the need for secure, transparent, and equitable access to services, ensuring every citizen in the *diáspora hondureña* can manage their documentation needs efficiently.
The ACOS System: Your Official Gateway to Honduran Consular Services
The ACOS system, accessible through the asuntosconsulares.inm.gob.hn domain, is the authorized and completely free platform for appointment scheduling. Its primary function is to eliminate the long lines and the practice of fraudulent middlemen who charge exorbitant fees for basic *trámites consulares*. This digital transformation is a key component of the National Institute of Migration's (INM) strategy to improve service delivery for both Honduran nationals and foreigners requiring services from Honduran Consulates.
The portal is designed to be user-friendly, guiding applicants through the registration and scheduling process. It is crucial to remember that this is the *only* official site; any other website or individual charging a fee for scheduling a consular appointment is operating illegally and should be reported to the relevant authorities, including the SRECI and the INM.
5 Critical Steps to Book Your Consular Appointment
Securing your appointment is a straightforward process when you follow the official steps on the ACOS platform. Avoid common errors by meticulously following this guide:
- Step 1: Access the Official Portal and Select Applicant Type.
Navigate directly to
asuntosconsulares.inm.gob.hn. The first action is to select your applicant type: Hondureño (Honduran Citizen) or Extranjero (Foreigner). This selection dictates the flow and the specific services available to you. For most citizens in the diaspora, selecting 'Hondureño' is the correct path. - Step 2: Complete the Applicant Registration Form.
You will be prompted to enter your personal data. For Honduran nationals, this requires the *Documento Nacional de Identificación* (DNI) number. Other required fields include full names, date of birth, current city of residence, address, and a valid email address. The system uses this information to verify your identity with the Registro Nacional de las Personas (RNP) database. Ensure all details are accurate to prevent cancellation of your appointment.
- Step 3: Choose Your Service and Consulate Location.
Once registered, the system will ask you to select the specific *trámite* you need. This might be a new *Pasaporte Hondureño*, a *Matrícula Consular*, or a civil registration service. Following the service selection, you must choose the specific Honduran Consulate (e.g., Los Angeles, Houston, Madrid) where you wish to attend the appointment. The availability of slots depends on the capacity of the chosen location.
- Step 4: Schedule the Date and Time.
The ACOS calendar will display the available dates and times. It is critical to select a slot that you are absolutely certain you can attend. Once confirmed, the system will generate a confirmation code or receipt. Note that the availability is constantly updated, sometimes requiring users to check back frequently for new openings, especially following the deployment of *Consulados Móviles* (Mobile Consulates).
- Step 5: Confirm and Prepare Your Required Documents.
After scheduling, you must print or save the appointment confirmation. This document is proof that you have a legitimate, scheduled appointment. Immediately begin gathering all necessary original documents, such as your expired passport, DNI, *Partida de Nacimiento*, and the official *Comprobante de Pago* (proof of payment for the service, usually a bank receipt). Arriving without the required documentation will result in the denial of your service.
Essential Services Available Through the Consular Portal
The asuntosconsulares.inm.gob.hn portal facilitates appointments for the most critical services required by the Honduran community residing abroad. These services ensure the legal and civil identity of Hondurans is maintained, regardless of their location.
Comprehensive List of Consular Procedures
The following are the primary categories of services for which you must schedule an appointment via the ACOS system:
- Passport Issuance and Renewal (Pasaporte Hondureño): This is the most requested service. It covers the issuance of a new passport for the first time, or the renewal of an expired or soon-to-expire travel document.
- Consular Registration (Matrícula Consular): This is a key identification document issued by the consulate, often used by Hondurans in foreign countries as a form of non-travel ID and proof of residence in the host country.
- Civil Registration Services (Registro Civil):
- Birth Registration: Registering the birth of children born abroad to Honduran parents.
- Marriage Registration: Registering a marriage that took place in a foreign country.
- Death Registration: Recording the death of a Honduran citizen abroad.
- Legalization and Notarial Acts (Poderes Legales): This includes the granting of legal powers of attorney (*Poderes*) for matters in Honduras, such as property sales, bank transactions, or family legal matters.
- Visa Applications (For Foreigners): The system also allows *Extranjeros* (Foreigners) to schedule appointments related to visa applications for travel or residence in Honduras, managed by the INM's *Servicios Extranjeros* division.
Required Documentation for High-Demand Trámites
Preparation is the key to a successful consular visit. While requirements can vary slightly by consulate, having the following documents ready will significantly speed up your process. Always bring the originals, not copies.
Passport Renewal (Adults)
- Original DNI (Documento Nacional de Identificación) or Birth Certificate (*Partida de Nacimiento*).
- Expired or soon-to-expire Honduran Passport.
- Official *Comprobante de Pago* (Bank Receipt) for the passport fee. This fee must be paid prior to the appointment at an authorized bank.
- If the passport is lost or stolen, an official police report is mandatory.
Matrícula Consular
- Original Honduran identification (DNI, valid or expired Passport).
- Original *Partida de Nacimiento* (Birth Certificate).
- Proof of address (*Comprobante de Domicilio*) in the country of residence (e.g., utility bill, rental agreement).
The INM and SRECI are continuously working to improve the ACOS system, including integrating services with the Registro Nacional de las Personas (RNP) to ensure data accuracy. The goal is to make the process of obtaining or renewing a *Pasaporte Hondureño* or *Matrícula Consular* as seamless as possible for the entire Honduran community residing outside of *Centroamérica*.
By utilizing the official asuntosconsulares.inm.gob.hn portal, you are not only securing your essential documents but also supporting the integrity of the Honduran government's efforts to combat *fraude consular*. Always verify the URL and never pay a third party for the appointment scheduling service itself.
