Residences and Argentine Citizenship
We help you to process it
Are you living in Argentina and want to obtain the Argentine nationality?
If you are a foreigner and have been residing in Argentina for at least 2 years, you can obtain Argentine citizenship.
It does not matter if you already have another nationality or several nationalities, you can still apply for Argentine citizenship. You can be Argentine and simultaneously have many other nationalities.
Nationality by Option
If you are the child of a native Argentine father or mother and you were born abroad, you can opt for Argentine nationality.
The procedure is carried out before the Argentine consulate (if you are abroad) or before the RENAPER (National Registry of Persons) or civil registries (if you are in the country).
Requirements:
- You must be the child of a native Argentine father or mother.

- If you are under 18 years old, the holders of parental authority will be the only ones authorized to make the option on your behalf.
If your child was born abroad, you can give him/her the Argentine nationality. You can go to the consulate closest to your domicile to apply for the Argentine nationality option for children of Argentines born abroad.
