Argentina Overhauls Health Licensing With Non‑Expiring Digital Matriculation Issued at Graduation

The change streamlines registration to cut delays and costs for new clinicians.

Overview

  • The Health Ministry launched a system that makes the national license permanent and viewable in the Mi Argentina app.
  • Minister Mario Lugones signed an agreement with A.FA.CI.ME.R.A. enabling faculties to secure the national matricula at the moment degrees are issued via the R.U.P.S.
  • Faculties must comply with ministerial resolutions to access the integrated university‑registry process.
  • The digital credential is free and sufficient to practice in public and private institutions under national jurisdiction.
  • Implementation starts with medicine and nursing, with expansion planned to other disciplines whose registration is nationally managed.
