Overview

  • Authorities reinforced checkpoints on national routes for the New Year travel surge, shifting guidance from general tips to concrete enforcement.
  • Drivers are expected to carry DNI, valid driving license, vehicle cédula, proof of insurance, and VTV/RTO, plus required safety gear and legible plates.
  • The Transport Secretariat cites fines of $45,000 for missing cédula and about $257,000 for lacking a license or insurance, with possible retention of the vehicle or license.
  • In CABA, not having a current VTV draws 400 Fixed Units (about $319,404), while in Buenos Aires Province reports list $257,000 and license retention for VTV lapses.
  • Digital credentials via the MiArgentina app are widely used, yet some jurisdictions still demand paper; zero-alcohol rules now apply in 18 provinces, with severe sanctions such as a $1,750,000 fine in Buenos Aires Province for alcohol infractions.
