How to Find a Person in Honduras
Finding a missing person or a person you have lost contact with in Honduras or another country can be difficult. Most people in the U.S. are located easily through home phone numbers, business phone numbers, cell phone numbers, home addresses, work addresses, e-mail addresses and personal web pages. These make us accessible day or night. Many resources do exist to help a person locate a friend, business contact, or loved one that is living in Honduras.

Call the tax board in Honduras. Try to locate a receipt you may have received from the person you would like to find, with his or her tax payer identification number on the document. The tax board has contact information for tax payers in Honduras. Owners of businesses in Honduras must file monthly or quarterly income taxes with the national tax board. The tax board may be able to contact the missing party on your behalf. An attorney may be useful in writing a letter to make the request more urgent.

Tips & Warnings
Place an advertisement in the local paper to help find a missing person. You can also make announcements over local radio stations or television stations if there is a true emergency. Use social networking web sites such as Facebook, Twitter, My Space, and Hi 5 to help you relay the message to common friends that you may have. Many global search engines can assist you in finding your missing person.
If you suspect that the person you are searching for has been detained or is being held hostage or prisoner in Honduras, you may contact Amnesty International to verify their status. This step should not be taken unless there is credible evidence of imprisonment.
