According to the sources, since 2025 foreign parents of a child born in Argentina are no longer entitled to seek citizenship immediately. Naturalization requires two years of residence with a residence permit; the source says permanent residence and a DNI may still be obtained immediately after the child’s birth.
The change separates the child’s entitlement to Argentine citizenship from any accelerated citizenship route for the parents. For families, this means a longer path to a passport: the sources describe at least two years of residence with a permit and a stable income, while permanent residence and a DNI are discussed as separate options. It primarily affects foreigners considering childbirth in Argentina as a way to regularize the family’s status. Anyone relying on this route should pay attention, while verifying the detailed requirements against official rules and professional advice.
