How to apply for and track your first Argentine passport

Check first-passport requirements after Argentine citizenship, including the DNI, appointments and RENAPER application tracking.

Confirm identity requirements

After acquiring Argentine citizenship, check the DNI and supporting documents required for a first ordinary passport. Check adult and child requirements separately and confirm any attendance or guardianship requirements.

Apply in the correct jurisdiction

In Argentina, follow RENAPER’s instructions for an appointment at a documentation centre or the appropriate civil registry. If applying abroad, ask the Argentine consular office covering your residence which services it provides and what fees apply.

Keep the application receipt

After lodging the passport application, use the application ID on your receipt to check the status through the official RENAPER instructions. Follow the consular office’s collection or delivery instructions for an overseas application. Contact the authority handling your citizenship case for updates on that separate procedure.
