Overview
- On Tuesday, May 26, 2026, Buenos Aires confirmed it added its Registro Público de Alimentantes Morosos (RPAM) to the national Tribuna Segura program and transmitted the RPAM database to U.S. authorities so listed debtors can be blocked from World Cup stadiums.
- The RPAM list contains more than 13,000 names and draws on information shared via agreements with 13 Argentine provinces, which officials say gives the system broader, near‑federal reach.
- City authorities have scanned national ID cards (DNI) at stadiums and concerts since March 2025 and report 187 operations that detected 162 registered debtors overall and 91 checks this year that denied entry to 87 people.
- Authorities say the mechanism works by matching scanned DNIs at gates to the RPAM and applying the derecho de admisión to refuse entry, a step officials frame as enforcing child support and protecting children's rights.
- The move extends controls to matches in the United States, Mexico and Canada and could set a precedent for cross‑border enforcement of domestic registries, raising questions about travel disruption for ticket holders and about foreign access to Argentine administrative data.
