from Wikipedia:

it is now a matter of personal preference should an honorary doctor use the formal title of “doctor”, regardless of the background circumstances for the award.

Written communications where an honorary doctorate has been awarded may include the letters h.c. (honoris causa) after the award to indicate the status.

personally, I wouldn’t. I always thought it looked kind of pretentious to do so.
