Life Certificates may be requested at the Consulate

1 - In Person

The holder of the retirement or pension benefit can come in person at the Consulate with their valid Argentine DNI or passport. The procedure is free of charge, and the certificate usually can be issued on the same day (subject to the number of applicants paperwork load on that day).

At this time, individuals who wish to complete the procedure in person may come to the Consulate without an appointment, from Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (the Consulate is closed from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. for lunch) and from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Please check for holidays on which the Consulate may be closed.

2 - By mail

The holder of the retirement or pension benefit must print and complete the form (available here) and sign it in the presence of a notary public. The notary public's signature must then be certified by the corresponding county clerk. Once the signature has been certified, the completed form must be sent to the Consulate by postal mail, along with a prepaid return envelope, which will be used to send back the Certificate of Life. The procedure at the Consulate is free of charge. However, please note that the services of the notary public and the county clerk usually involve a fee, which must be paid directly by the applicant.

 

3) Remote Certification
