What the Argentina DNI is

The Documento Nacional de Identidad is the national identity card for Argentine citizens and residents. You use the Argentina DNI to vote, bank, sign legal papers and access government services, and to travel within Mercosur. The plastic card is the size of a credit card (85.6 × 54 mm) and stores a digital photo and fingerprints.

When you need your own photo

You apply for or renew the Argentina DNI at a Registro Civil or a Centro de Documentación Rápida after booking an appointment on the official page. The picture is often taken at the office, but the checklist lists a recent photo "if required". If your office asks for one, bring a 4×4 cm print with a white background.

Photo checklist

  • Square 4×4 cm size, head filling about 70% of the frame.
  • Plain white background, no shadows or patterns.
  • Face the camera directly with your full face in view.
  • No hat and no glasses.
  • Sharp colour photo, not black and white.

Documents to bring

First-timers bring a birth certificate and proof of residence; for a renewal, bring your current Argentina DNI. You also give fingerprints and pay a fee (see the Registro Civil site).

Validity and updates

An adult Argentina DNI is valid for 15 years; different validity periods apply to minors. Update it if your name, marital status or address changes.
