Hi all, I have a question, maybe somebody may be able to help.
I am away on business in the states, and yesterday my Argentine wife went and delivered our son, Ethan, almost 2 months early! She and he are both doing fine so far, though he is quite small, 1.4Kg. Hopefully he will be fine and healthy.
We are having a technical issue regarding the last name. I may not be able to return right this minute, but they are pushing to go ahead and process his DNI. (to track or authorize services he may need or something like that?). We did not register a name in the registro civil before I left. We would like to give the baby my last name, but they are telling us I need to be present for that. Is that correct? Is there any way around it?
I understand it's quite difficult to change a last name in Argentina. I wonder is there any special case here? I wonder if there is some time window where I can come back and rectify this?
Some details:

I have tried to do my homework here on baexpats, but so far did not find anything addressing my specific question.

Some details:
- I am a US citizen, Argentine permanent resident via marriage
- She is an Argentine citizen (as of a few years ago, originally from Paraguay)
- We were married here in Argentina and have our libreto of marriage
- The baby looks like me and even has my big nose! (ok, just had to throw that in)
