Honduras IDV/KYC Challenges
Remittances Bring Diaspora Customers Into Everyday Onboarding
Family remittances equalled 29.6% of GDP in 2025 on preliminary Banco Central de Honduras figures, so KYC for Honduras must cover senders abroad and receivers at home. Shufti verifies the DNI, passports and consular IDs in one flow, wherever the customer is.
Remote Accounts Stay Inactive Until Identity Is Confirmed
CNBS rules let firms open products online, but each stays inactive until the customer's name and DNI are verified, and is cancelled if that takes over 30 days. Shufti confirms the DNI and live face in one session, so accounts activate in minutes.
Beneficial Ownership Is Moving to a New CNBS Register
Decreto 127-2026 created a central beneficial ownership register at the CNBS and abolished bearer shares, and firms must now keep each client's registration certificate on file. The certificate does not replace verification, so Shufti traces everyone owning 25% or more and screens them.
Thin Case Files Weaken ROS Filings With the UIF
Firms have 60 calendar days from an unusual transaction to send a first suspicious operation report (ROS) to the UIF, and 30 for complementary ones. Shufti's case management gathers evidence, screening hits and analyst notes, so each report is ready well inside the deadline.
Documents and Languages
Individual Documents Shufti Verifies in Honduras
Shufti verifies 11 Honduran identity documents plus passports and ID cards from other countries. The cards below cover the core documents Honduras onboarding relies on, with the full list on the supported documents page.
View All Supported DocumentsDocumento Nacional de Identificación (DNI)
The RNP issues the DNI under Decreto 62-2004 for ten years, and holders can also carry a DNI Digital in the government's BIEN app. Shufti reads the open QR code against the printed details, checks the laser-engraved security features and matches the holder's live face.
Carné de Residente (Residence Card)
Foreign residents receive a residence card from the Instituto Nacional de Migración, and CNBS rules accept it, or a passport stamped on entry, for opening accounts. Shufti checks the card's security features and expiry and matches the holder's face to the photo.
Matrícula Consular
Honduran consulates issue the matrícula consular to citizens living abroad, based on RNP records, and CNBS rules accept it for basic accounts held by non-resident Hondurans. Shufti verifies it alongside the DNI or passport, so diaspora customers can onboard from wherever they live.
Honduran Passport
The Instituto Nacional de Migración issues passports after capturing each applicant's photo, fingerprints and other biometrics in person. Shufti reads the MRZ and runs nine forensic detection layers, from MRZ checksum validation to hologram analysis, so a cloned or altered passport fails before onboarding.
Foreign Passports and National ID Cards
Shufti actively processes 10,000+ ID document types from 240+ countries and territories, and its zero-shot AI learns new document formats in minutes. Foreign investors, workers and visitors without a residence card use these, and Shufti reads the chip on biometric passports by NFC.
Honduran Driving License
The Policía Nacional's Dirección Nacional de Vialidad y Transporte issues licences in printed or digital form, with an MRZ or QR code, valid for two to five years. Shufti checks authenticity and expiry and matches the photo to a live selfie for transport and delivery onboarding.
Proof of Address
CNBS rules require each customer's full home address, including department and municipality. Shufti reads Honduran utility bills, bank statements and lease contracts, extracts the address and checks it against the declared one in the same session as the ID.
Entity Identity
Escritura de Constitución (Deed of Incorporation)
A Honduran sociedad anónima or sociedad de responsabilidad limitada exists through a notarised deed inscribed in the Registro Mercantil. Shufti's AI-OCR reads ownership, capital and signing authority from the deed and flags GAN-generated or edited pages before any data is used.
Registro Mercantil Records
Chambers of commerce run the Registro Mercantil as associated centres of the Instituto de la Propiedad, and many companies now incorporate online through Mi Empresa en Línea. Shufti checks the registry record at every review, so a changed or missing record surfaces early.
Municipal Operating Permit
Businesses renew a municipal operating permit each year, and for designated non-financial businesses the municipality first asks for the CNBS registration certificate under Decreto 131-2014. Shufti reads both documents and checks the company name and address against the registry record.
Business Address Proof
Firms must record where a Honduran company actually operates. Shufti cross-checks the address on lease contracts and utility bills against the Registro Mercantil record and the deed, and sends any mismatch to your team for review.
Tax Identity
RTN for Companies
Companies register in the SAR's Registro Tributario Nacional under Article 66 of the Código Tributario (Decreto 170-2016), and a company RTN stays valid until the business ceases operations. Shufti extracts the RTN and cross-checks the company name against the deed and registry.
RTN for Individuals
The SAR builds a Honduran's personal RTN from their DNI number plus one extra digit. Shufti checks that link, so sole traders, signatories and owners connect to a single tax identity without asking for a second document.
Foreign Tax Registrations and Tax Residency
Foreign shareholders and parent companies bring tax numbers from their home jurisdictions. Shufti captures those registrations and tax-residency self-certifications in the same KYB flow and checks each one against the entity's corporate documents.
Ownership and Control
Registro Centralizado de Beneficiarios Finales (RCBF)
Decreto 127-2026 requires companies to declare everyone owning 25% or more, or exercising effective control, to the CNBS register and to update it each year by 30 May. Shufti extracts those owners from company documents, stores the registration certificate and screens each owner.
Shareholder Register and Ownership Chart
Bearer shares must become registered shares within six months of Decreto 127-2026 taking effect, and the shareholder register now decides who counts as a shareholder. Shufti maps ownership through each intermediate company and screens every owner against sanctions, PEP and adverse media lists.
Directors, Administrators and Legal Representatives
Shufti verifies the identity of each director, administrator and authorised signatory, screens them at onboarding, and alerts your team when the board or legal representation changes in the Registro Mercantil.
Languages We Cover
Spanish, English and Expat Document Parsing
Honduran documents are printed in Spanish with accents and compound names, and foreign residents hold IDs in many other scripts. Shufti's OCR reads 150+ languages and scripts at 99.7% accuracy, so accented names and dates are captured without loss. It averages 93% against Google Vision's 78.4% in its published benchmark, and zero-shot document intelligence reads unseen layouts on first sight, without a template.
Honduran Name Matching
Hondurans usually carry two given names and two surnames, and foreign records often drop the accents. Shufti's screening applies Spanish naming rules and accent variants, so sanctions and PEP matches hold across every spelling.
Cross-Document Consistency Checks
Shufti reconciles names, dates and identifiers across the DNI, passport, residence card, driving licence, RTN and Registro Mercantil records, including the DNI digits inside each personal RTN, and flags every mismatch.

Regulatory Update
Every Verification Route Honduras Regulators Recognize, in One Platform
CNBS rules name a biometric factor such as facial recognition, with liveness tests where needed, for onboarding digital wallet customers (Circular 017/2024), and a DNI check against RNP records for opening basic accounts (Circular 021/2022). Shufti supports both routes, plus chip, document, and video routes for non-residents and customers without a DNI.
Biometric Authentication With Liveness
LiveWallet providers must authenticate customers biometrically at sign-up and for app transactions. Shufti's face match and liveness tie the customer to their DNI at onboarding, then confirm the same face again before sensitive transactions go through.
Document and Face Biometric
LiveThe customer photographs a DNI, residence card or passport and takes a selfie. Shufti checks the document, runs certified liveness and compares the faces, and most Hondurans and foreign residents onboard this way.
NFC Chip Verification
LiveShufti reads the chip in most foreign biometric passports and checks that the signed chip data matches the printed page. Foreign investors, workers and visitors carrying a chip-enabled passport get the highest assurance this way.
Fraud Prevention Across the Honduras Customer Journey
Reduce fraud losses and protect customer trust across onboarding, account access, and payments. Shufti connects identity, behavioral, device, network, and transaction intelligence to help Honduras businesses act on risk while keeping legitimate customers moving.
Governance & Controls
Audit-Ready Decisions, Lower Operational Drag
Fewer Avoidable Re-submissions
Capture guidance for the DNI's QR side, residence cards and accented Spanish names helps customers send a sharp, glare-free image the first time.
Cleaner Audit Trails
Shufti's case management records sources, results, timestamps, evidence, analyst notes, and decision history, packaged as report-ready bundles for ROS filing with the UIF.
One Workflow, One Back Office
Unify KYC, KYB, AML screening and transaction monitoring in one case file. Perpetual KYC/KYB tracks ownership, director, and transaction behavior changes.
DNI-First Flow Design
Honduran customers start with a docless DNI check, and foreign residents or visitors switch to residence card or passport checks without leaving the flow.
Shufti's IDV/KYC Solutions for Honduras
KYC Solutions
Shufti's KYC solutions for Honduras start with who the customer is. Hondurans at home and abroad present a DNI or matrícula consular, and foreign residents a residence card. One Shufti flow routes each by risk, so nobody faces checks they don't need.

Face Verification
A borrowed DNI is worthless when the holder's face must match it live. Shufti's iBeta Level 3 liveness and face match confirm that the person on camera owns the document, with a 99.5% first-try pass rate for genuine customers.
.
Age Verification
Casinos, bingos, lotteries and other age-restricted services must keep minors out without slowing adults down. Shufti estimates age from a selfie in under five seconds and falls back to the DNI's date of birth when the estimate sits near the limit.
.
Bank Account Verification
Loan disbursements and remittance payouts fail when an account number is mistyped or belongs to someone else. Shufti validates the account format and checksum and matches the account holder's name in real time, so money reaches the verified customer.
.
Address Verification
Honduran address proof arrives as utility bills, bank statements and leases in many layouts. Shufti's layout-aware extraction and fuzzy matching read them with a 99.3% pass rate and record the department and municipality that CNBS rules ask for.
.
Document Verification
The DNI, residence cards, consular IDs and foreign passports all reach the same onboarding flow. Shufti checks each one within seconds and catches edited, printed, replayed and AI-generated documents before they reach your team.
.
Identity Verification
A basic account and a high-value investment client should not face the same checks. Shufti combines document, biometric, NFC, address and eIDV checks in one API session, so identity verification for Honduras scales with the risk of each product.
.KYB Solutions
Honduran companies sit in the Registro Mercantil and, from 2026, in the CNBS beneficial ownership register, often behind layered shareholdings. Shufti's registry checks and owner mapping cover Decreto 127-2026 and the CNBS 25% rule without manual chasing.
Explore More
Business Verification
Onboarding a Honduran company means confirming its Registro Mercantil record, RTN, legal representative and everyone who owns or controls 25% or more. Shufti confirms the Registro Mercantil record and checks declared owners against the shareholder register and the client's RCBF certificate.
.
Enhanced Due Diligence
Decreto 144-2014 requires enhanced due diligence for PEPs and non-face-to-face clients, and CNBS rules require yearly updates to high-risk files. Shufti's branching questionnaires, configurable risk scoring and UBO verification links gather source of funds evidence in one place.
.AML Screening
A customer who is clean at onboarding can land on a list next week. Shufti's perpetual KYC re-screens customers against 4,000+ watchlists, including the UN Security Council lists the UIF circulates under Decreto 241-2010, refreshes data every 15 minutes and keeps every hit in one case file.
Explore More
Business AML Screening
Owners and directors of a client company can become sanctioned or politically exposed long after onboarding. Shufti's perpetual KYB re-screens them against UN Security Council lists, PEP data and 50,000+ adverse media sources and alerts you as soon as exposure changes.
.
Transaction Monitoring
Remittances, wallet transfers and cash deposits above the UIF's reporting amounts move fast. Shufti's library of 500+ pre-built rules covering structuring, smurfing, and mule activity cuts false positives by up to 60%, and report-ready case bundles support filing with the UIF.
.
AI Compliance Co-Pilot
One common name can return 140+ screening hits, and surnames such as Hernández and López repeat across Honduras. Shufti's AI Compliance Co-Pilot reviews every hit, gives a confidence score and a written reason, and your compliance officer keeps the final call.
.Built To Fit Honduras's Compliance Landscape
AML compliance in Honduras starts with Decreto 144-2014, which applies to every obligated sector, while the CNBS, its UIF and the BCH add their own rules. Shufti maps its KYC, KYB, AML screening and transaction monitoring controls to every regime below, so one platform covers each license your group holds.
Ley Especial Contra el Lavado de Activos (Decreto 144-2014)
In force since May 2015, it repealed Decreto 45-2002 and was last reformed by Decreto 43-2023. Firms must identify beneficial owners and keep due diligence continuous (Article 7), apply enhanced checks to PEPs and non-face-to-face clients, and keep records for at least five years (Article 8).
Comisión Nacional de Bancos y Seguros (CNBS)
The CNBS supervises banks, insurers, pension funds, securities firms and other financial institutions. Its AML regulation, Resolución SB 348/2016, sets the 25% beneficial owner test (Article 38), keeps remotely opened products inactive until identity is verified within 30 days (Article 41) and requires five-year retention (Article 83).
Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (UIF)
The UIF sits within the CNBS and receives suspicious operation reports, due within 60 calendar days of the unusual transaction or 30 days for complementary reports (Articles 58 and 59). Cash, transfer and remittance reports reach it in the first ten business days of each month (Article 62).
Banco Central de Honduras (BCH)
The BCH oversees payment systems and sets the amounts above which cash and transfer transactions must be reported (Article 23 of Decreto 144-2014). Its Acuerdo 12/2022 governs payments with electronic money and Acuerdo 13/2022 registers payment service providers, while the CNBS supervises the AML controls of both.
URMOPRELAFT (Designated Non-Financial Businesses)
Under Decreto 131-2014, casinos, real estate firms, jewellers, vehicle dealers, pawnshops, money transfer services, lawyers, notaries and accountants register with the CNBS for transactions of US$10,000 or more (Article 3). URMOPRELAFT supervises them (Article 5), and records must be kept for five years (Article 17).
Registro Centralizado de Beneficiarios Finales (Decreto 127-2026)
In force since 3 July 2026, it creates a CNBS-run register of every person owning 25% or more of a company or controlling it (Articles 6 and 8). CNBS Circular 010/2026 makes firms keep each client's registration certificate in the CDD file, alongside their own verification.
Registro Nacional de las Personas (RNP)
The RNP issues the DNI under Decreto 62-2004, with ten years of validity (Article 101). Decreto 70-2020 made it the only body authorised to validate citizens' biometric data commercially, under contract with public and private entities, and its records back facial checks in the BIEN wallet.
Servicio de Administración de Rentas (SAR)
The SAR runs the Registro Tributario Nacional under the Código Tributario (Decreto 170-2016). Registration needs an identity document and proof of domicile (Article 66), and a personal RTN is the holder's DNI number plus one digit, which links tax and civil identity for every Honduran taxpayer.
Ley Contra el Financiamiento del Terrorismo (Decreto 241-2010)
The UIF receives UN Security Council designations and passes them to obligated firms without delay, and those firms must freeze matching assets immediately (Article 23) and inform the UIF (Article 24). The CNBS sets the detailed screening and reporting duties in its 2011 terrorist financing regulation.
Comisión Interinstitucional para la Prevención del Lavado de Activos y Financiamiento del Terrorismo (CIPLAFT)
CIPLAFT is coordinated by the CNBS president, with the UIF as technical secretariat (Articles 3 and 4 of Decreto 144-2014), and a 2026-2030 national AML strategy followed in September 2026. Honduras is assessed by GAFILAT and was not on the FATF increased monitoring list in June 2026.
Honduras Data Residency and Deployment
No major public cloud provider runs a region in Honduras, so Shufti offers on-premises deployment inside your own Honduran infrastructure or hosting in a cloud region named in your agreement. Sub-processors and transfer arrangements are set in writing, so you know where identity data sits.
Habeas Data and Confidential Personal Data
Article 182 of the Constitution lets anyone access, correct or delete information about themselves held in public or private databases. Shufti applies encryption, role-based access and configurable retention to identity and biometric data, so your firm can answer those requests quickly and completely.
CNBS Technology and Outsourcing Rules
CNBS Circular 025/2022 lets supervised firms use cloud and offshore processing if they notify major outsourcing 30 days before signing (Article 13) and guarantee the CNBS can reach their data at any time (Article 36). Shufti's deployment options and audit access support that notice.
Retention Controls
Decreto 144-2014 sets a five-year minimum from the end of each relationship, and the beneficial ownership law keeps register data for five years as well. Shufti's retention is configurable by client and jurisdiction, minimums are not treated as deletion dates, and legal holds pause deletion.
Encryption and Security
CNBS rules require supervised firms to report serious security incidents within two hours (Article 21 of Circular 025/2022). Shufti encrypts identity data in transit and at rest, restricts access by role, logs every action and holds ISO 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 Type 2 report.
Automated Decisions and Biometric Data
Biometric checks decide who can open a wallet or send money under CNBS rules, so customers need a clear answer when one fails. Shufti returns verification results and supporting details through the API and back office, so your support team can explain outcomes and escalate disputed results.
Scope of Our Role
Shufti processes personal data on your instructions as a technology service provider under CNBS outsourcing rules, while your firm keeps its own AML and privacy duties under Honduran law. Shufti's privacy notice identifies the limited activities where it acts as an independent controller.

Identity Verification Built Around Your Industry in Honduras
Basic Accounts Opened Online With DNI Checks
CNBS Circular 021/2022 lets banks open basic accounts through electronic channels once the DNI is checked against RNP records, with a separate category for Hondurans living abroad. Shufti's KYC onboarding solution for Honduras runs the DNI check, liveness and risk tiers in one remote flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Shufti verify the Honduran DNI, and what happens when customers cannot use it?
Yes. Shufti verifies the DNI through document and face biometrics or a docless check of the DNI number and date of birth against RNP records through an authorised RNP connection. Customers without a DNI move to residence card, passport, matrícula consular, NFC or video verification in the same flow.
Is a DNI image enough to verify a Honduran customer?
No. A photo of a card can be printed, edited or replayed. Shufti reads the DNI's open QR code and compares it with the printed details, checks the security features, confirms the number against RNP records through an authorised connection and matches the holder's live face.
Can Shufti verify foreign documents or identity formats it has not encountered before?
Yes. Shufti's zero-shot document intelligence handles layouts it has not seen and learns a new format in minutes, so coverage keeps up when countries redesign their IDs. Foreign residents, investors and visitors can onboard with home-country documents without waiting for template updates.
How accurately does Shufti OCR read Honduran identity documents?
Shufti's OCR reads Spanish-language documents with accents, both surnames and compound given names intact, and averages 93% accuracy against Google Vision's 78.4% across its published benchmark. It captures DNI numbers, RTNs, dates of birth, expiry dates and MRZ lines exactly, so screening, registry checks and the DNI-to-RTN match all run on clean data.
How does Shufti verify ownership when a Honduran company has several corporate layers?
Shufti pulls the Registro Mercantil record, reads the deed and shareholder register, and follows each corporate shareholder through every layer. It identifies everyone owning or controlling 25% or more, as Decreto 127-2026 and CNBS rules require, and checks the result against the client's RCBF certificate.
Does Shufti's ongoing monitoring cover more than sanctions screening?
Yes. Article 7 of Decreto 144-2014 requires continuous due diligence and a review of transactions against each customer's profile. Shufti monitors transactions against behavioral baselines, re-screens customers and owners, and watches registry, director and ownership changes, alerting your team when a profile shifts.
How does Shufti keep AML and PEP screening for Honduras current and handle local name variations?
Shufti refreshes sanctions, PEP and adverse media data several times an hour, including the UN Security Council lists the UIF circulates. Its matching handles two given names, two surnames and missing accents, so one person is not split into several records or missed.
Can we choose Honduras hosting or run verification inside our own infrastructure?
Yes. With no public cloud region in Honduras, Shufti supports on-premises deployment inside your own infrastructure and air-gapped setups for firms that cannot send data out. Hosting and transfer terms are set in your agreement, which helps with the 30-day outsourcing notice CNBS rules require.
What controls help us protect identity and biometric data?
Shufti combines encryption, role-based access and full audit logging with independent certifications, and can run on-premises so biometric data never leaves your network. Configurable retention deletes data on schedule, which supports habeas data requests under Article 182 of the Constitution.
Can we configure different retention periods for different Honduras licenses?
Yes. Retention is configurable by client, product and jurisdiction, so a bank, an insurer and a casino in one group can each follow their own schedule. The five-year minimum in Decreto 144-2014 is respected, and legal holds pause deletion during investigations.
What does Shufti provide when our compliance team needs to prepare a ROS for the UIF?
Shufti's case management assembles the customer profile, verification results, screening hits, flagged transactions, analyst notes and decision history into a report-ready bundle. Your compliance officer can then file the ROS with the UIF well inside the 60-day limit set by CNBS rules.
Can we add verification checks without rebuilding our onboarding journey?
Yes. Shufti's AI Journey Builder adds or removes liveness, NFC, address proof or video checks by risk tier, product or customer type, and the AML screening API plugs into onboarding flows already live in Honduras. Changes go live through configuration, so your app stays untouched.
How does Shufti make verification queries easier for our customer support team?
Every decision arrives with its results, reasons and evidence in the back office and through the API. Support agents can see why a DNI photo or selfie failed, tell the customer exactly what to retake and pass disputed results to compliance for review.
