Peru Sets Driver’s License Age Cap at 80 as Argentina Rolls Out Digital, Health-Based Renewals

Policies in both countries shift eligibility to verified fitness with shorter validity for older motorists.

Overview

  • Peru’s transport ministry set 80 as the maximum age to issue or renew a license and from 70 requires medical and psychological evaluations at accredited centers.
  • For Peru’s non‑professional class A category I, renewal terms shorten to five years at ages 70–75, three years at 75–81, and two years from 81, as outlined in the national regulation.
  • Argentina’s Decree 779/2025 converts the national license into a digital credential in the Mi Argentina app without a fixed expiration, linking validity to periodic psychophysical checks.
  • Argentina’s ANSV specifies health assessment intervals of every five years up to 65, every three years from 65 to 70, and annually after 70 for standard categories.
  • Renewal in Argentina requires a fitness certificate from ANSV‑authorized providers uploaded via Mi Argentina, with QR-based verification active and a physical card available as an option.
