Argentina 2026 Driving Rule Changes
Fonte Ufficiale: Agencia Nacional de Seguridad Vial (ANSV)
Ultimo Aggiornamento: 1 febbraio 2026
Riepilogo
Argentina transforms its traffic system in 2026 with a new digital driver license without printed expiration dates, simplified VTV (vehicle inspection) rules exempting newer cars, fully digital license processes through the Mi Argentina app, and new fine prescription periods.
Modifiche Principali
Digital Driver License Without Expiration Date
In vigore dal 1 gennaio 2026
Physical license with expiration date
Licencia Nacional de Conducir issued as physical card with printed expiration date; in-person renewal required
Digital license, no printed expiration
Private driver licenses (classes A, B, G) no longer have a printed expiration date; license is primarily digital via Mi Argentina app; only psychophysical certificate needs renewal
Fonte Ufficiale: ANSV Licencia Nacional
Consiglio dell'Istruttore
“The Licencia Nacional de Conducir is going digital. For private drivers (classes A, B, G), there is no printed expiration date. Instead, you renew your psychophysical fitness certificate: every 5 years for ages 21-65, every 3 years for 65-70, and annually over 70. The process is 100% virtual through Mi Argentina.”
VTV Exemption for Newer Vehicles
In vigore dal 1 gennaio 2026
Annual VTV for all vehicles
All vehicles required periodic VTV (Verificación Técnica Vehicular) inspection regardless of age
Exemption for vehicles under 4 years
Vehicles up to 4 years old or under 60,000 km are exempt; 5-10 years requires biennial inspection; over 10 years requires annual inspection; digital VTV certificate available via Mi Argentina
Fonte Ufficiale: ANSV VTV Reform
Consiglio dell'Istruttore
“New VTV rules: vehicles under 4 years old or with less than 60,000 km don't need inspection. Between 5-10 years, inspect every 2 years. Over 10 years, inspect annually. The VTV sticker still exists but is now complemented by a digital certificate in Mi Argentina.”

Re: New Traffic Fine Prescription Periods
Consiglio dell'Istruttore
“Traffic fines now have clear national prescription periods: 2 years for minor infractions and 5 years for serious ones. If you need to sell your vehicle and old fines appear on the record, you can legally request removal if the prescription period has passed.”
Re: Digital Psychophysical Fitness Certificate
Consiglio dell'Istruttore
“You no longer need to visit your municipality for the medical exam. Any ANSV-accredited doctor can issue the psychophysical fitness certificate. Once the doctor uploads it to the system, your digital license updates automatically in the Mi Argentina app.”
Re: VTV Market-Based Pricing
Consiglio dell'Istruttore
“The flat rate for VTV inspections is gone. Workshops now set their own prices, so shop around. Competition should improve both service quality and wait times. The digital VTV certificate via Mi Argentina eliminates the need for physical paperwork.”
