Honduras's National Registry clarified that the new DINNA child identification card, launching enrollment in 2026 with card distribution expected in March 2027, will not replace birth certificates but will add biometric data and facial recognition to strengthen protection against trafficking and help identify migrant children.

The National Registry of Persons reports more than 14 million Hondurans are registered, with 51% male and 49% female.

The National Registry (RNP) began enrolling children ages 6–17 in a new biometric identity document called Dinna, targeting 2.3 million minors through 23,836 schools nationwide in a $40 million World Bank–funded program aimed at guaranteeing the right to identity and preventing trafficking.
