Overview
- The Inspección General de Justicia published Resolución General 4/2026 on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, and the rule takes effect the day after its publication in the Boletín Oficial.
- The resolution repeals 29 previous articles and replaces the old checklist with a single, common set of documents for foreign firms seeking either a local branch or a stake in an Argentine company.
- The rule treats article 118 registrations for branches or permanent representation as sufficient so companies no longer must duplicate paperwork under article 123 when they later join a local firm.
- The IGJ allows apostilled digital documents, electronic domiciles, verified electronic signatures and parallel processing of foreign registration and local company formation to cut time and cost.
- Capital can be proven with a representative’s sworn statement plus an accounting certificate for cash injections or an inventoried, certified record for non‑cash contributions, and officials say core identity, beneficial‑owner and anti‑money‑laundering checks remain in place.
