Argentina has recently made changes to its requirements for obtaining a Documento Nacional de Identidad (DNI), the national identity document. As of 2024, FBI background checks are no longer necessary for U.S. citizens applying for a DNI in Argentina. This change is part of broader efforts to streamline the application process for foreign nationals.
Previously, U.S. citizens needed to provide an FBI background check, which required submitting fingerprints and other documentation to verify the absence of a criminal record. The removal of this requirement simplifies the process and reduces the administrative burden on applicants (

DNI Gov) (
Federal Bureau of Investigation).
For more detailed information, you may refer to the U.S. Embassy in Argentina's official website or other related governmental announcements.
I have had consultations with two immigration attorneys in the past two weeks and neither were aware of any change in the law requiring the FBI check.
Question....does anyone know anyone who really knows this stuff? Thanks

The recent changes to Argentina's DNI requirements, which include the removal of the FBI background check for U.S. citizens, are part of a broader update to the national identity system. These changes were formalized through Provision 1255/2023, which was published in the Official Gazette on December 1, 2023. This provision, issued by the Argentine Registry of People (RENAPER), introduces a new national identity document (ID) with enhanced security features and digital functionalities, including electronic identification and signature capabilities.
The full text of the provision can be accessed through the Official Gazette of Argentina's website (
