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.

As part of the transformation of our patio into a renewed space for community engagement, cultural diplomacy, and the promotion of Argentina, we unveiled the new permanent location of a bronze sculpture by Argentine artist Naum Knop. A part of the Consulate’s art collection since the 1980s, the work now occupies a prominent place in the patio, where its artistic significance can be appreciated by visitors and become part of the daily life of this revitalized gathering space.
The patio also welcomed a temporary mural by Argentine artist Simo Vibart, created to accompany the FIFA World Cup 2026. Inspired by the Argentine flag and football culture, the installation brings a vibrant contemporary presence to the space. We are especially grateful to Simo Vibart for his generosity in making this work available to the Consulate, contributing to the patio’s role as a platform for art, public diplomacy, and community connection.
Thanks to his generosity, the mural will remain on view over the coming months in our newly renovated patio and can also be enjoyed from the Library Room, where it accompanies visitors to the Consulate, transforming a moment of waiting into an opportunity to connect with Argentine art.
