Finally got sorted
Just for the record a baby born in Argentina must leave the country with an Argentine passport. In our case my wife is Argentine – I don’t know what happens if both parents are non-Argentine , but I suspect the Argentine system views all babies as Argentine nationals.
My son now has his Argentine Passport
We used the PASAPORTE EXPRESS service available at passport offices and the Centros de Documentacion Rapida , which are expanding to the suburbs.
Delivery to your home is guaranteed in 48 hours – we received ours in 23 hours. Good to see some things are working well here !!
The Express service costs 500 pesos in addition to the 130 pesos passport fee
They also have the service at the DNI- PASSPORT booths in some shopping centres – that will cost an extra 100 peso fee.
We used the CDR in Rivadavia and Segurola in Flores
When the system first started young kids and babies has to go to the Central place in Paseo Colon , but all the centres now have the right equipment to scan fingerprints and take photos.
You may be asked / forced to get the new DNI as well for your baby. That is 25 pesos more and they send it to your home in 15 days.
