In May, the Government had officially repealed the requirement for driving a car using the blue ID card and also established that the Green ID card will not have an expiration date.
The elimination of the Blue Card In the automotive market, this will cause “more problems than solutions” because it will force those who have to drive a vehicle that is not their own to complete a costly procedure before a notary public.
“We think that the fact that the Blue Card does not exist is not very smart, because it was optional, cost only 6,400 pesos and solved a problem that has been present for many years,” said the secretary of the Chamber of Automotive Commerce (CCA), Alejandro Lamas, in statements to the Noticias Argentinas agency.
He explained that this document “solved the problem that otherwise the car that is not one’s own, “It was included in the digest of registry rules.” He said that “now, if you want to go out with the car, you will have to request a power of attorney before a notary that does not go below 140 thousand pesos.”“, he noted.

He said that in the case of truck transport, “when there are many drivers, each one must have a power of attorney before a notary. “This does not solve anyone’s life and complicates it for a lot of people,” he warned.
On the other hand, Lamas also questioned the decision that the The Green Card does not expire and warned that this will cause “the process of changing the ownership of the car to be delayed a lot.”
“Many people, because they arrive with just enough to buy, delay the transfer. And there are already sites selling second-hand cars that have ads only with a green card at a quarter or fifth of the value of the car,” he said.
Controversy over Vehicle Registries
Regarding the controversy over the Motor Vehicle Registries, Lamas explained that “we have to wait, because we still don’t know exactly what they want to do,” and he recalled that “most of the costs are provincial taxes, so they will have to be negotiated with each governor.” “I don’t think they will be able to be eliminated. In Mendoza, for example, the Stamp Tax is the third most important, and half of the cost of the transfer.”
Regarding digitalization, he said that “It is already being done, even with biometric reading, and the issue of the single patent, which could be interesting, we have to see how it is generated.”
