Moving in - Recoleta - June 1!

    Hola nuevos vecinos! Retired profesional moving (alone) from Chicago on June 1 to a fantastic apartment on Rodríguez Peña Square, near Av Callo.


    This is planned as a permanent move so I will be around for a while.


    My first question for anyone who can help is about my DNI. The embassy gave me a link to register for an appointment but the list of office choices is huge and no map! The drop down list has locations all over the country with no context. I found by searching, there is an office one mile from my new apartment but I cant match up the name to the drop down list. I know this is my ‘day one, must do’ so any guidance appreciated. (my visa is stamped in my passport).


    After that, I need a bank account, cellular plan and a sube card! Right??


    I’ll keep my usa cell plan for a while (unlimited international text) so I am available for coffee or other friend making.

    Very excited. Hope to meet some of you. Six weeks to go!

    Scott

    Welcome, FScott ! It sounds like you will be staying in a superb location.


    As for the DNI, I am assuming you are arriving on a retiree visa. You can get a DNI visiting one of the locations of ReNaPer (Registro Nacional de las Personas). You need to book an appointment online using this link https://www.argentina.gob.ar/interior/dni/extranjeros, then select Primer ejemplar (first issue), and finally you can pick a location. Under Recoleta, I see Av. Callao 1065 morning and afternoon appointments.

    The calendar is open until May 15, only, so it may be a little too soon for that.


    If you are unable to create a verified account on Mi Argentina to book an appointment, I can book one for you.

    Wow! Thank you so much!

    This is the link that the local counsel gave me;

    Turnos para trámites de DNI | DNM


    I did find the page you recommend but did not navigate it thoroughly. I was warned not to schedule the appointment until I arrived.


    I had found an office at Moreno, 2031, which is only about a mile from my new apartment and was planning to walk in and ask for assistance.


    Thanks again!

    OMG, I just mapped the office you suggested, it is literally less than a block from my new apartment!

    Thanks again!
