Las licencias de conducir pueden ser suspendidas ante graves infracciones de trĂ¡nsito.

Overview

  • The digital license, accessible via the Mi Argentina app, is now the primary format, with physical cards optional but still valid.
  • License validity periods are now age-based, ranging from five years for younger drivers to annual renewals for those over 70.
  • Mandatory psychophysical exams, conducted by ANSV-approved professionals, are required for all drivers to renew licenses.
  • Serious traffic infractions, such as DUI, speeding, and cellphone use while driving, can lead to license suspension and mandatory retesting.
  • Professional licenses (C, D, E) no longer require the LiNTI for interjurisdictional validity, pending provincial adoption by May 19.
