Argentina DNI Photo

The Argentine National Identity Document (DNI) has transitioned through three key formats: - Pre-2009: Issued exclusively as a green libreta (booklet). - 2009 Modernization: Transitioned to a digital system, introducing a blue libreta alongside a new card format. - 2012 Onward: Exclusively issued as a credit card-sized polycarbonate ID card with embedded security features. The libreta format was fully phased out.

DNI stands for Documento Nacional de Identidad (National Identity Document), the official government-issued identification for Argentine citizens and residents. Mandated by Argentine law, it serves as proof of identity, nationality, and legal status for domestic transactions (e.g., voting, banking, government services) and international travel. Each DNI includes the holder’s full name, date of birth, photograph, unique identification number, and is issued by the Registro Nacional de las Personas (RENAPER).

Foreign nationals from non-MERCOSUR or non-associated countries may obtain a DNI (Documento Nacional de Identidad) in Argentina by securing temporary residency. This process, available upon arrival in Buenos Aires, typically requires a valid work authorization and compliance with Argentine immigration regulations. MERCOSUR citizens and those from associated countries benefit from simplified residency procedures under regional agreements. All applicants must meet legal requirements set by the National Directorate of Migration.
