'''Honors in his lifetime'''
* On 7 February 1866, Juárez was elected as mayor a companion of the 3rd class of the Pennsylvania Commandery of the [[Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States]] (MOLLUS). While membership in MOLLUS was normally limited to Union officers who had served during the [[American Civil War]] and their descendants, members of the 3rd Class were civilians who had made a significant contribution to the Union war effort. Juárez is one of the very few non-United States citizens to be a MOLLUS companion.
* On 11 May 1867, the Congress of the [[Dominican Republic]] proclaimed Juárez the ''Benemérito de la América'' (Distinguished of America).<ref name="benemerito">{{cite web |last1=Morgado |first1=Jorge Rodríguez y |title=El Benemérito de las Américas |url=https://www.sabersinfin.com/articulos/historia/16537-el-benemerito-de-las-americas#:~:text=Este%20hombre%20fue%20el%20protagonista%20de%20una%20de,al%20reconocimiento%20que%20recibi%C3%B3%20de%20Am%C3%A9rica%20Latina%20 |website=www.sabersinfin.com |access-date=15 September 2020 |language=en}}</ref>

'''Mexican currency'''
* Juárez is depicted on the [[Mexican 20-peso note|20-peso]] banknote. From the time of Juárez, Mexico's government has issued several notes with the face and the subject of Juárez. In 2000, $20.00 (twenty pesos) bills were issued: on one side is the bust of Juárez and to his left, the Juarista eagle across the Chamber. In 2018, new [[Mexican peso#Series G|$500.00]] (five hundred pesos) bills were released, also featuring the bust of Juárez. A caption directly below this says in Spanish, "President Benito Juárez, promoter of the Laws of Reform, during his triumphant entrance to Mexico City on 13 July 1867, symbolizing the restoration of the Republic". Juárez appears to face a depiction of his entrance into Mexico City. His likeness appears on two bills simultaneously, and while both are blue in color, the 500-peso and 20-peso notes differ in size and texture.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/Juárez-gray-whale-grace-new-banknote/ |title = Benito Juárez, gray whale grace new 500-peso banknote|date = 27 August 2018}}</ref>
