Argentina Shifts to Digital, Age‑Tiered Driver’s Licenses Under Decree 196/2025

Renewals hinge on ANSV-issued psychophysical certificates uploaded by authorized providers to update the Mi Argentina credential.

Overview

  • Drivers 70 and older must renew every year, and licences are revoked automatically if the annual exam is missed or not passed.
  • Validity now follows age tiers: five years up to 65, three years from 65 to 70, and annual thereafter, with five-year terms for under‑21 holders of A, B and G.
  • The process is digital-first: physicians record exam results so the licence refreshes in the Mi Argentina app, while a physical card remains optional.
  • Enforcement tightens renewal eligibility, blocking those who fail the ANSV psychophysical check, novice drivers with serious infractions in their first two years, and holders with unresolved sanctions.
  • Local procedures and fees vary; in Buenos Aires City the renewal application costs 28,750 pesos and the CENAT costs 6,800 pesos, with the legality certificate free.
