Argentina passport renewal in the United States
Renewing a passport without leaving the US is the single most common consular procedure for the Argentina community. This guide carries fees and appointment systems verified against official sources — not generic ranges.
Verified fees
| Validity | Fee (USD) |
|---|---|
| Ordinary passport, 10-year validity | $165 |
Fee per the Argentine embassy’s consular pages for the US. You receive a payment slip (boleta) at the consulate and pay the arancel there.
How appointments actually work
The DC embassy books by email — write consular@embassyofargentina.us with your place of residence and PDF scans of both sides of your DNI plus your passport; other consulates run their own booking from their cancilleria.gob.ar pages. Biometrics are captured in person.
Documents
- Previous passport (valid or expired)
- Government photo ID
- US proof of address (utility bill or lease under 3 months old)
- Passport photos only if your consulate asks — most capture the photo and biometrics on site
- DNI argentino — required; if you never had one or it’s badly outdated, the DNI procedure comes first (also done at consulates)
Delivery
Argentine passports are printed in Argentina and shipped to your consulate — plan on 4-6 weeks before pickup.
Your immigration status doesn’t matter here
The Argentina consulate does not check your information against ICE, USCIS, or CBP — consulates operate under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963). Your right to a Argentina passport flows from your nationality, not your US status.
