Argentina Declares License Plate Distribution Fully Restored: Driving Without One Can Cost ARS 800,000

Officials urge drivers to use the DNRPA portal to confirm availability, emphasizing prompt pickup.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Justice says more than 55,000 metal plates for newly registered vehicles are ready for immediate collection nationwide.
  • Automotive registries report receiving all pending plates, and authorities say it is now each owner's responsibility to retrieve them.
  • Drivers and security forces can check plate readiness through the DNRPA website using the vehicle’s registration details.
  • Officials credit mass distribution efforts and new suppliers added through public tenders for ending the shortage.
  • The shortage began in 2023 due to import constraints and reliance on a single state supplier, leading to over 400,000 provisional paper plates in 2024–2025 and complications for enforcement and tolling.
