When I saw the announcement, I felt a thrill: Argentina is modernizing its citizenship process — and that brings new opportunities for people around the world. As a Certified Public Translator in Argentina, I know just how important this change is — especially for those of you who need to prepare and translate key documents for naturalization.
What’s Changing: A Truly Digital Citizenship Process
Starting October 6, 2025, a major reform takes effect. Under Decree 366/25, Argentina’s National Directorate of Migration (DNM) will take over the naturalization process, which until now was handled by the Judiciary.
This reform means:
-
The citizenship application is now 100% digital, via the RaDEX system.
-
The same agency (DNM) now handles both residency and citizenship, streamlining the process and centralizing your immigration history.
-
The requirement to be physically in Argentina when you file via RaDEX, according to the DNM.
According to KPMG’s analysis, this is part of a broader push to make migration administration more efficient and transparent.
What the Law Says: Decree 366/25
The legal foundation for this change is Decree 366/2025, signed on May 28, 2025.
Some key points of that decree:
-
It modifies Migration Law No. 25.871 and Citizenship Law No. 346, among others.
-
It reinforces migration control, sets stricter rules, and gives the DNM authority to grant citizenship.
-
It also includes a new path to citizenship by significant investment, through a newly created Agency for Investment Citizenship.
-
According to the decree, this Agency will evaluate the investment, request reports from other government bodies, and recommend approval (or rejection) to the DNM.
Who Is Eligible (Under the New System)
The following people can apply via RaDEX, according to public sources:
-
18 years or older
-
Foreign-born individuals who hold temporary or permanent residency in Argentina
-
People who meet the criteria in Article 2, Section 1 of Citizenship Law 346 (as modified)
To start the process in RaDEX, you’ll need to upload:
-
Your Argentine National ID (DNI)
-
An updated criminal background certificate (Registro Nacional de Reincidencia)
-
Proof of your occupation or means of income
-
Your CUIT or CUIL number (tax ID)
The DNM may ask for more documents later in the process.
Why Certified Translations Are More Crucial Than Ever
Here’s where my work as a Traductora Pública (Certified Public Translator) becomes especially relevant: if any of your documents were issued outside Argentina, they must be translated by a certified (public) translator to be accepted by Argentine authorities.
Common documents that need translation include:
-
Criminal record certificates from your home country
-
Birth or marriage certificates
-
Academic diplomas or transcripts
-
Proof of income or employment documentation
Using a certified translation ensures your files are legally valid in Argentina, preventing delays or rejections.
💡 A Personal Note: Why This Reform Matters
When I first became a public translator, I worked mostly on academic documents and professional certifications. Over time, more and more people started asking me: “Will this count for my citizenship case?” or “Can you translate my criminal record for my visa?”
Now, with the RaDEX system and Decree 366/25, many of these stories are converging. The reform isn’t just a bureaucratic shift — it’s a recognition that migration deserves simplicity, transparency, and consistency.
My mission is to support people like you during this pivotal moment. I want to make sure that your translations meet legal standards and reflect the personal journey behind every file.
