was assigned the code 01, and the others a correlative numerical code in alphabetic order within
each Department. The new municipalities received a code number following the last one, and
the same rule will apply for merging municipalities.
There are special codes for Naturalized Hondurans, who were assigned the Department and
Municipal code 0890. Code 0880 was created for the case of individuals who apply for a
double nationality and code 1292 for the individuals who live in zones recuperated through
the resolution of the Supreme Court of La Haye, Holland. The Hondurans reregistered with no
court decision and based on the certification they obtained from birth registration issued by the
Civil Register, but that were not recorded in the registries of the General Registry Office were
assigned a Department code adding 20 digits more to the code of the registration department.
Through the National Registry Office Honduras has permanently worked on fixing the
inconsistencies, for data integrity, and to update the Civil Registry for which various projects to
adjust information were carried out:
1. In 1983 the Project financed by AID and the Government of Honduras to move the Civil
Registry of the Offices of the Municipal Mayor to the General Register Office and to create
the first Identity Card with fingerprint records,
2. 1987 Project to Update the Civil Registry, financed by AID,
3. 1991 DEPUR Project, financed by the TNE / GRO.
4. 1996 OEA Project to Strengthen the Civil Registry,
5. 2005 OEA Project to Strengthen Democratic Institutions, and
6. 2011 PNUD project to reduce the Under-Registration, and digitize pending registration
information.
Remark: The update Projects have not been completed and have generated information and
incomplete Databases that have to be homologated.
As regards individuals’ National Identification three (3) projects were completed:
1. In 1984 the first Identity Card with biometric control was created,
2. In 1996 the first Identity Card in the world with combined Biometric control and AFIS was
created, and
3. In 2005 a Project to update and modernize the Identification Document (10-fingerpirnt) and
the General Register Office.
The 1996 project started the identification of citizens using a fingerprint biometric system
with two databases: the first one contains the registrations of the Civil Register (births, deaths,
marriages, adoptions, etc.) with a total of approximately 12 million records and a second one
with information of the issuance of approximately 3,700,000 unique Identity Cards for the same
amount of Honduran citizens, with their demographic data and images (photo and index fingers
prints). Since that time over 5 million issues were incorporated for the same amount of citizens
of whom there are demographic data and images (photo and fingerprints of 3,234,927 records
with fingerprints of the two index fingers) and minutiae vectors. The 2005 project implemented
a 10-fingerprint biometric system through which there are demographic data and available
