He Ministry of Justice of the Nation has announced a series of significant reforms in relation to Automotive Records and the procedures carried out in said offices. One of the notable modifications is the elimination of the so-called “blue card” and the implementation of changes in the identification cards for vehicle owners and people authorized to drive them.
Starting in May, the need for the “blue card” will be eliminated, allowing any individual to circulate through Argentine territory by showing only the green card of the vehicle owner, whether in physical or digital format. In addition, it has been decided to eliminate the expiration of all “green cards.”
The Unique Vehicle Identification Cardformerly known as green cardcontains vital information such as the domain, name and document of the owner, make, model, chassis and engine numbers.
On the other hand, the Identification Card for Authorized to Drivepreviously called blue cardhas the same information as the green card but includes the name of the person authorized by the holder to drive the vehicle.
With this government measure, it will no longer be necessary to carry a blue card to drive a vehicle that is not your own, thus eliminating the holder’s obligation to authorize third parties to drive their car.
