By Honduran law, all medical professionals (doctors, dentists, specialists) must solicit a permit to practice in Honduras. The permit requires the U.S. medical professional to practice under a licensed Honduran medical professional. The Honduran medical professional must solicit a permit from the National Honduran Medical Board 45 days before a U.S. medical professional practices within Honduras.

Thing to Know
- Best practice – Draft or search for a document stating the minor can travel alone or with someone, not their parent or guardian. Then, get it notarized.
