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.

"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.
At the same time, her work reflects an ongoing exploration of how shapes and colors influence our inner world. Inspired by principles of positive psychology, each composition is intuitively balanced to evoke subtle emotional shifts, a sense of calm, lightness, or quiet energy. Soft, organic forms create a feeling of openness, while layered colors interact in ways that can gently transform mood and perception, bringing color into our days.
While her compositions appear soft and ethereal, they carry a quiet intensity. Each piece is built through a process of adding, veiling, and revealing, a rhythm that mirrors the artist’s own search for balance between intuition and control. The resulting works feel alive, full of motion and energy, yet grounded by an underlying structure and sense of purpose.
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.

Pure Emotion
by Rocky Cervini
| | |
In Pure Emotion, Argentine visual artist Rocky Cervini explores the vulnerability of the human figure through a conceptual and material journey where words and matter become symbolic instruments. Drawing on her parallel practice as a translator, Cervini treats language and image as interconnected signifiers: lived experience becomes gesture, gesture becomes form, and form returns to life on canvas.
"As a translator and visual artist, I use words and matter as symbolic instruments to represent signifiers. In a conceptual-material-immaterial journey, I conceive my characters from an experiential mark, I turn them into pictorial representations and there they come back to life, dialoguing with the observer to leave an incorporeal mark in the memory of the experience.
The figures I portray, both dissociated and coexisting, embody the vulnerability of bodies in the face of an adverse world from which they cannot protect themselves. They remain submerged and immobile, trembling, howling, hurting, and merging with each other. Their gestures and silences hint at untold stories, echoes of experiences that reveal the deep connection between physical and emotional suffering" (Artist's statement)

Transitions of Form
by María Emilia Cattaneo
| | |
In Transitions of Form, through a rigorous and poetic exploration of structure, light, and material, Argentine artist María Emilia Cattaneo investigates the plane as an active force capable of generating volume, spatial relationships, and perceptual transformation.
In the artist's words, "My artistic practice is based on the study of the plane and its possibilities for transformation. I conceive of the plane not as a two-dimensional surface, but as an active structure capable of generating volume, space, and perceptual relationships.
I work with folded planes that are articulated as units within a system. Each work is organized based on rules, metrics, and structures that establish dynamic links between the parts, where sequencing functions as a structural and compositional principle.
Through the use of materials such as Plexiglas and mirrored stainless steel, I explore optical phenomena related to color and reflection. The fold introduces new spatial dimensions: it interrupts the continuity of the plane, multiplies its orientations, and generates areas of shadow, absorption, and reflection".
