Argentina’s National Registry of Individuals has published Resolution 93/2025 in the Argentinian official gazette (Boletín Oficial), which increased the fees for the services they provide as of 5 March.1
WHY THIS MATTERS
This adjustment is very important because the National Registry of Individuals is responsible for issuing essential documents such as identification cards (DNIs), not only for Argentinian nationals but also for foreign nationals with temporary and permanent residency in Argentina.
These documents are necessary for carrying out various administrative and legal procedures, including voting, accessing healthcare, opening bank accounts, among others.
