Consular services

Online appointment system a for

Life Proof Certificates (remote)

The online appointment system allows citizens to schedule appointments for remote (non-presential) Life Proof Certificates, providing greater convenience for those who require this service without having to visit the Consulate in person.


As previously communicated, this system also remains available for consular services that require RENAPER’s intervention —specifically DNI and passport applications— and has become a key tool in streamlining access to these high-demand services, and will continue to be progressively expanded to incorporate additional consular procedures. The system is also accesible from our newly available virtual assistant, Tina, who will help you on visiting our updated website.


For DNI, passport, and Life Proof Certificates, Argentine citizens are reminded that appointments must be requested exclusively through our official website:


https://cnyor.cancilleria.gob.ar/es/turnos-online



Kindly note that, for security reasons, in person assistance will be provided by appointment only and visitors are requested to attend unaccompanied.


Given the high number of unattended appointments, we kindly remind citizens who have booked and confirmed a slot to arrive on the scheduled date and time. If unable to attend, we respectfully ask that you notify us in advance so the appointment may be reassigned, allowing us to better serve the community as a whole.


Commemorating Argentina's National Day

The 216th Anniversary of the May Revolution was commemorated at the General San Martín Monument in Central Park alongside members of the Argentine community, Consuls General, authorities, colleagues, and friends of Argentina, beginning with the traditional wreath-laying ceremony in honor of Argentina’s founding values and national heroes. The celebration later continued at the Consulate General and Promotion Center of Argentina in New York.


The day was marked by a strong sense of community, tradition, and national pride. Every May 25 invites reflection not only on the ideals that inspired Argentina’s path toward independence, but also on the responsibility to carry those values into the future with hope and conviction.


Our special recognition to the flag bearers of the Argentine School in New York for once again joining this meaningful commemoration.


The event featured Argentine music, dance, and cultural traditions, including a moving rendition of the Argentine National Anthem by Luka & Niko Zylik, performances by Javier Colli and Sebastián Ríos, and traditional dances by Ballet Sol Cuyano and Ballet Río de la Plata.


¡Viva la Patria!

Escudo Nacional

A symbol for Argentina’s home in New York

As part of the celebrations of Argentina’s “May Week,” the Consulate General and Promotion Center of Argentina in New York hosted a special concert by Argentine pianist Axel Quincke.


The evening marked a deeply symbolic moment for our institution and community: the unveiling of Escudo Nacional, an extraordinary work by Argentine artist Paula Morando inspired by Argentina’s National Coat of Arms.


Generously donated by the artist, the painting will permanently preside over the Auditorium of the Consulate, becoming part of the identity and history of Argentina’s home in New York. With remarkable strength and beauty, the work transforms the Auditorium into an even more meaningful space for the many cultural, community, and institutional gatherings that take place throughout the year, while honoring the values, history, and shared identity that unite Argentines abroad.


The unveiling also marked the official launch of the celebrations commemorating 80 years of Argentina’s presence in the historic building on 56th Street, which has served as the country’s home in New York since 1947. Built in 1899-1901, the landmark building continues to stand as a symbol of Argentina’s enduring presence and connection with the city.

Congratulations to the new Argentine citizens!

"Through Layers"


by


Alexandra Arata

Through Layers is a solo exhibition by Argentine artist Alexandra Arata, exploring the dialogue between transparency and depth, fragility and strength. Her works, known for their airy textures and fluid forms, reveal the subtle power that emerges from what is not immediately seen, from the spaces between layers.


In Arata’s paintings, color and form unfold gradually, as if suspended in air. The transparent layers, sometimes delicate, sometimes bold, invite viewers to slow down and look beyond the surface. This interplay between light and opacity becomes a metaphor for emotion, memory, and identity, what we choose to show, what we keep hidden, and how both coexist within us.


Through Layers is an invitation to pause and experience stillness within complexity. It celebrates the beauty of transparency as a symbol of honesty and vulnerability, and the strength found in the process of building, one layer at a time.

Concerts & Events *


While visiting Switzerland to accept an award for her work in the fashion industry, Argentine designer Lina (Isabel Aimé González Sola) is seized by the sudden urge to jump off a bridge into an icy river. She survives the plunge and returns to Buenos Aires; she tells no one of the incident, yet a transformation has taken place within her. Left with a paralyzing fear of water, Lina finds it impossible to readjust to her former identity as a wife, mother, and artist. She distances herself from her husband (Esteban Bigliardi) and career, growing increasingly isolated and fragile as she confronts long buried existential questions.


Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler, The Currents is a quietly gripping psychological mystery with dreamlike, hallucinatory threads that weave a portrait of a woman on the verge of unraveling.
