For what’s it’s worth, my experience regarding obtaining an Argentine Driver’s License was a breeze. I live in Pilar, so I went to the Driver’s License Office in Pilar first thing in the morning with my DNI, Cedula Verde (Auto Registration) and Proof of Insurance, filled out a Form, got my eyes examined, took (and passed) a written exam in Spanish, took (and passed) a driving test, got my picture taken, waited about 15 minutes, and walked out with my Argentine Licencia valid for 5 years. The whole process took less than 1 hour.
I would say that many Expats (myself included) are accustomed to definitive answers to straight forward and simple questions like:
Do I need a DNI to open a bank account?
I have been renewing my Visa for X years and now have over stayed my most recent Visa Stamp by Y days. Will that be a problem?
Since some of the immigration/visa regulations have apparently changed recently, is there a “grandfather clause” for Z situation?
As many I am sure already know, often times definitive answers to many simple questions do not exist here. The only advice is to get as much info as possible, like from this and other Forums as well as knowledgeable attorneys when possible/appropriate and don’t get too frustrated and don’t give up.
Having said that, I am still wondering if anyone has had experience obtaining the “New DNI” and/or the Cedula de Identidad? Saludos.
