Apostille Argentinian Criminal Record Certificates for use in the Netherlands and abroad
Isarey provides specialist attestation services in Argentina to authenticate Argentinian Police Certificates (Certificado de Antecedentes Penales) with Apostille Stamps and at all major embassies.
Criminal record certificates are issued in Argentina by Registro Nacional de Reincidencia and can be authenticated for official use in countries which are signatories to the Apostille Convention by obtaining an Apostille stamp issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Culto).
Certificates required for non-apostille countries must also be legalized by the destination country's embassy in Buenos Aires. Non-Apostille countries include: 
United Arab Emirates - Qatar - Thailand - Taiwan - Vietnam
- Apostilles on Argentinian criminal record certificates are normally obtained in 1 - 2 business days and delivered worldwide by courier.
Isarey will take care of the entire process for you. We offer individual assistance certifying your documents and a dedicated project manager to ensure that each process is carried out efficiently and securely.
We also provide certified translations into English, French, Portuguese and other languages, so that your certificate is properly legalized and ready to submit in the country where you need to present it. Translations can be certified in Argentina with a second Apostille Stamp, or a translation can be certified locally in the destination country.
How to obtain an Argentinian Criminal Record Certificate
Most countries asking for a Criminal Record Certificate from Argentina will require a certificate issued with an exception to Article 51 (Certificado de Antecedentes Penales con excepción al artículo 51 del Código Penal). Certificates issued without this exception will not provide a full list of arrests and charges, and may not be accepted.

Adults with a valid Argentinian ID (Documento Nacional de Identidad) can obtain the criminal record certificate online. You will also need to be registered on the
Mi Argentina (in Spanish) app, hold an Argentinian bank card, or have an ARCA tax code or Social Security (ANSES) code.Once the certificate is received, an updated certificate with an exception to Article 51 can be requested: Select “Reclamo – Tramitación” and then "El trámite no fue entregado con excepción al Art. 51"
