Honduran Police Certificate

[sam998836 15]

Can anyone help me with the police certificate needed? I’m seeing some places saying it needs to come from Tegucigalpa and others saying it doesn’t matter. I have also heard it takes 2-4 hours to print and I’ve also heard it takes 5-7 days. Anyone have any experience with this?? Also, is 200 lempiras for the cost accurate?? No one at the DPI in Tegucigalpa will respond to us and we don’t want to make an unnecessary trip there if we don’t have to. Thanks

The police certificate for that you must take with you to your interview has to come directly from DPI in Tegucigalpa. It takes about 5 days. Plan your trip accordingly.

The above is correct.  DON'T take the police record someone would use to apply for a job.  

 

My husband lived in San Pedro Sula and we just got a lawyer in Tegucigalpa to get it for him.  It was only $75 or so.

I was a visitor to Honduras but stayed there for more than 6 months. Is there anyway can I get a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)?

I used my US business/visitor visa to enter the country. 

Is there any Attorney in Honduras who can help me with this?
