Attesting Argentinian Documents (FAQs)

Yes - Argentina is a member of the Apostille Convention.

• Argentina - Competent Authority

Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Argentinian document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit an Argentinian birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized.

Legalizing a document in Argentina certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Argentina and confirms the capacity of that official.

• Because Argentina is a member of the Apostille Convention, Argentinian documents can be legalized by means of an Apostille Stamp when being submitted to countries that are also members of the Hague Apostille Convention
• If an Argentinian document is required for a country that is not a member of the Apostille Convention, it will need to be legalized both by Argentinian authorities and by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Argentina or non-resident embassy accredited to Argentina).

Most countries asking for a Criminal Record Certificate from Argentina will require a certificate issued with an exception to Article 51 (Certificado de Antecedentes Penales con excepción al artículo 51 del Código Penal). Certificates issued without this exception will not provide a full list of arrests and charges, and may not be accepted by overseas authorities requiring a criminal record for residency, citizenship or visa applications.

If applying personally at the office of Registro Nacional de Reincidencia or Argentinian Embassy, the exception should be requested at the time of application. If applying online, once the certificate is received, an updated certificate with an exception to Article 51 can be requested.
