Overview
- The VTV remains obligatory in Buenos Aires province, even as Coalición Cívica deputy Andrés De Leo filed a bill on Feb. 24 to abolish it, a proposal that has not been adopted.
- In the province, penalties for circulating without a current VTV range from 300 to 1,000 Unidades Fijas, now about $542,100 to $1,807,000, with values tied to premium fuel prices.
- An infraction begins the day after the sticker expires, and having a scheduled appointment does not authorize driving once the VTV has lapsed.
- Authorities may retain and tow vehicles, temporarily hold licenses, and levy storage costs in some jurisdictions, and insurers can contest coverage if the VTV is expired.
- In CABA, the VTV costs about $63,453 for cars and $23,858 for motorcycles, and driving without it carries a 400‑UF fine of roughly $319,200 without vehicle or license retention.
