Argentina Police certificate from Abroad

The Argentina PCC has slowed me down significantly at NVC and I wanted to share some info about Argentina PCC's so that others can avoid this hussle.

If you need to get an Argentinian Police Certificate but you are not residing in Argentina, pay attention to this:

In few words: NVC only accepts Argentina PCC that are ISSUED by the "Departamento de Reinsidencia" and not the Argentine Consulate. Many Argentine consulates like the one in Montreal offer 2 options to issuing the PCC:

1) To send a power of attorney to someone in Argentina that can issue it for you (only one accepted by NVC).

2) The embassy takes your fingerprints and sends them digitally to the "departamento de Reinsidencia" who sends back the info to the Consulate who then issues the PCC (with the info taken from the same place it would be taken if you were to issue it in person in Argentina).

Of course, I chose option 2 as it was way easier, but after 2 rejections at NVC they finally told me that there was nothing on their manuals that said that the PCC could be issued by the Consulate, regardless of where the info is coming from, and regardless that the PCC clearly states that it is coming from the "Departamento de Reinsidencia from the Ministry of Justice, Security & Human Rights".

So, BE CAREFUL! NVC says that you can get it from the consulate but they don't tell you this. I know, it does not make any sense but those are the rules...

Last but not least, do not forget to request the PCC "con excepcion al articulo 51 del codigo penal" (NVC won't take the PCC if it does not say this either).
