Overview

• From mid-August 2025, Argentine drivers must pass a psychophysical exam at ANSV-authorized centers and upload approved results to Mi Argentina before renewing their licenses.
• Validity periods have been set by age: five years for drivers up to 65, three years for those aged 65 to 70, and annual renewals for motorists over 70.
• License renewal is blocked by factors such as unpaid fines, active sanctions, judicial disqualifications, serious infractions—including positive alcohol tests—and failed exams.
• In Buenos Aires city, renewal costs total ARS 26,340 plus ARS 6,800 for the CENAT certificate, and drivers who fail the practical test have two retakes before restarting the entire licensing process.
• Mexico’s permanent license program, which charges MXN 1,500 for issuance or renewal and MXN 1,099 for replacements, remains open until December 31, 2025, and requires medical and cognitive evaluations for older applicants.
