Key points

Clear answers to the questions families usually ask first.

01

What is the first document?

After medical confirmation, the birth is registered and the partida de nacimiento records the baby’s and parents’ details.

02

Why check name spelling carefully?

An error in the partida can carry into the DNI and passport, so names and parent details should be checked before completion.

03

What comes next?

The baby’s first DNI, then an Argentine passport and, where needed, documents for use abroad.
