Argentina IDV/KYC Challenges
Government Data Dependencies Create Verification Friction
Argentine KYC leans on RENAPER for DNI and biometric checks and on ARCA for CUIT and CUIL data, so a slow response or failed match can stall onboarding. Shufti moves the customer to document, face and liveness checks within the same flow.
Complex Ownership Structures Slow Business Verification
Company records sit with IGJ in Buenos Aires City and with separate provincial registries, and UIF treats anyone holding 10% or more as a beneficial owner. Shufti maps layered and foreign ownership down to that threshold and screens every owner it finds.
Economic Volatility Challenges Transaction Monitoring
Inflation, exchange-rate swings and peso-dollar payment habits make fixed thresholds go stale quickly, and stale rules flood analysts with false positives. Shufti's Transaction Monitoring baselines each customer's own behaviour, so alerts reflect a real change in activity rather than price movement.
Evolving AML Requirements Need Continuous Monitoring
UIF, BCRA and CNV rules keep changing, and a customer who passed onboarding can appear on a sanctions, PEP or RePET list months later. Shufti rescreens customers and their owners against updated lists throughout the relationship and keeps each review in one case file.
Documents and Languages
Individual Documents Shufti Verifies in Argentina
Shufti verifies 10 Argentine identity document types, from the DNI and Licencia Nacional de Conducir to residency permits and refugee IDs, plus passports and ID cards from other countries. The cards below cover the core documents Argentine onboarding relies on.
View All Supported DocumentsMi Argentina Digital DNI, miBA and QuarkID
Mi Argentina holds the official digital DNI, valid like the physical card for most uses. Shufti authenticates customers through Mi Argentina, Buenos Aires City's miBA login and QuarkID credentials, pairing each result with liveness so the holder is present.
Documento Nacional de Identidad (DNI)
Issued by RENAPER to Argentine nationals and foreign residents. Shufti reads the DNI through AI-OCR, checks for tampering and altered photographs, validates the data and face against RENAPER, and confirms with liveness that the holder is present.
Argentine Passport
Issued by RENAPER to Argentine nationals. Shufti reads the biometric passport chip over NFC, validates the issuer's digital signature, and runs forensic checks from MRZ checksum validation to hologram analysis, so a cloned or altered passport fails before onboarding.
Foreign Passports and National ID Cards
Shufti processes 10,000+ document types across 240+ countries and territories. Its zero-shot AI adapts to unfamiliar formats, combining data extraction and authenticity checks so foreign residents and international customers can onboard with their home-country documents in the same flow as DNI holders.
Argentine Driving Licence
Shufti checks the Licencia Nacional de Conducir and other supported Argentine driving licences for tampering and expiry, then matches the document photograph to the applicant. These checks help car rental, ride-hailing and delivery businesses identify the person presenting the licence.
Proof of Address
Utility bills and bank statements provide proof of address. Shufti's Address Verification extracts the name and address, checks for document manipulation, and compares the details with the customer's declared information. Configurable recency checks help your team identify outdated evidence during onboarding.
Entity Identity
Operating Authorisation or Sector Licence
Local operating authorisations, including a habilitación where applicable, document permission for a business activity. Shufti's document-based KYB checks for tampering and extracts entity and activity details, helping your team compare the permission with the business being onboarded.
Company Registration and Registry Certificates
Registration records and current certificates come from the competent company registry, including IGJ for entities within its Buenos Aires City jurisdiction. Shufti's Enhanced KYB checks the certificate against live registry data to confirm the company's identity, registered address and status.
Constitutional Documents and Registered Amendments
The estatuto social or contrato social records the company's structure, capital and governance. Shufti's AI-OCR extracts these details from the document and its amendments, while tamper checks flag edited content for review alongside current company and ownership records.
Business Address Proof
Lease agreements, utility bills and bank statements connect a business to its declared premises. Shufti extracts the entity name and address, checks document integrity, and compares the details across the company's evidence to surface address discrepancies before onboarding.
Tax Identity
ARCA Tax Registration — Constancia de Inscripción
ARCA's registration record identifies the taxpayer by CUIT and records applicable tax registrations. Shufti's document analysis extracts the legal name, tax identifier and registration details, checks for manipulation, and compares the information with the company's other records.
Monotributo and Autónomo Registration Evidence
ARCA registration evidence helps establish a self-employed applicant's registered tax regime. Shufti's document checks extract the applicant's name, CUIT and recorded registration details, linking the evidence to identity verification so your team can review the individual and business activity together.
Foreign Tax Registration and FATCA/CRS Self-Certification
For cross-border structures, Shufti's due diligence forms collect foreign tax identifiers and FATCA or CRS self-certifications where required. Supporting tax documents sit alongside the declarations and identity evidence in the same workflow, giving your team a connected record for review.
Ownership and Control
Beneficial Ownership Declaration — Declaración Jurada de Beneficiario Final
UIF Resolution 112/2021, Article 2, covers individuals with at least 10% of capital or voting rights, or ultimate control. Shufti maps declared owners against supporting ownership evidence, verifies their identities, and screens them for sanctions, politically exposed person status and adverse media.
Shareholder Register and Ownership Chart
Shareholder records and ownership charts show the links between a company and its owners. Shufti traces intermediate entities through available registry data and supporting documents, connects identified beneficial owners to KYC and AML screening, and highlights gaps requiring further evidence.
Directors, Managers and Authorised Signatories
Appointment records, board resolutions and powers of attorney establish who can act for the company. Shufti links these records to each representative's identity checks and AML screening, bringing authority evidence and the verified person together in the company's case file.
Languages We Cover
Spanish and International Document Parsing
Shufti's OCR reads 150+ languages and scripts at 99.7% accuracy and returns structured fields from Spanish documents rather than a block of text, so DNI, passport and corporate evidence move through one verification operation.
Spanish Name Matching
Accents, compound surnames and differences in name order can complicate matching. Shufti accounts for diacritics and phonetic variants across sanctions, PEP and Spanish-language adverse-media screening, using birthdate, nationality and source-linked context to help distinguish a relevant match from someone with a similar name.
Cross-Document Consistency Checks
Compare the customer's name across identity, ownership and account records while preserving the role of each identifier. Shufti's structured extraction supports those comparisons, so DNI, CUIT and CUIL fields are not conflated, and a trading name is not mistaken for the registered company name.

Regulatory Update
Every Verification Route for Argentina, in One Platform
Argentine onboarding runs on RENAPER validation, the Mi Argentina digital DNI and ARCA taxpayer data. Shufti supports each of these, plus chip, document, video and enrichment routes for foreign residents and customers who cannot complete a database check.
RENAPER SID Data Validation
LiveShufti validates DNI data directly against RENAPER through SID, comparing issue and expiry dates and the gender field, and retrieving address and taxpayer identifiers where returned. Every response is stored in the customer's case file as evidence.
RENAPER Facial Comparison
LiveShufti compares the customer's live selfie with the photograph RENAPER captured at DNI issuance, confirming the face against the government record rather than only the card portrait. A liveness check runs in the same step to block photos, masks and replays.
Docless Database (eIDV)
LiveShufti verifies customers without a document upload, matching name and DNI number against Argentine government sources or authenticating them through Mi Argentina, miBA or a QuarkID credential. The decision arrives in seconds, with no image capture needed.
Extended Identity and Taxpayer Checks
LiveShufti's extended Argentine checks match name, DNI, date of birth and address, return CUIT and CUIL identifiers, and raise a deceased-person flag, giving your team grounds to stop identity misuse that a basic name-and-number match would miss.
Employment and Financial-Profile Enrichment
LiveShufti checks whether an applicant was employed within the past six months and retrieves the latest and highest reported bank balances over 24 months. Lenders gain economic context for each application, while source-of-funds questions stay with due diligence.
NFC Chip Verification
LiveShufti reads the chip in Argentine ePassports, chip-enabled identity cards and most foreign biometric passports, validates the issuer's signature and matches the chip portrait to the live face, giving residents without Mi Argentina a high-assurance route.
Document, Face and Liveness
LiveShufti pairs a DNI, passport or foreign ID with facial matching and iBeta Level 3 certified liveness, checking both the document and the person completing the journey. It is the route most foreign customers and non-residents take.
Video Identification
LiveShufti's VideoIdent runs live, agent-led identity checks in Spanish for journeys that need guided document inspection or a conversation with the customer. The full session is recorded and kept as evidence in the case file.
Fraud Prevention Across the Argentina Customer Journey
Protect Argentine onboarding, account access and payments with Shufti's connected fraud prevention solutions. Give your team the identity, device, behavioural and transaction evidence needed to challenge suspicious activity, reduce losses and keep genuine customers moving.
Governance & Controls
Audit-Ready Decisions, Lower Operational Drag
Reduce Avoidable Document Resubmissions
Shufti's guided capture catches blur, glare and cropping on the DNI while the customer is still in the journey, so fewer applications come back.
Keep the Evidence Behind Each Decision
Shufti's case management records sources, results, timestamps, evidence, analyst notes and decision history, with direct SRO+ integration for filing ROS reports with the UIF.
Carry Customer Context Into Ongoing Reviews
Unify KYC, KYB, AML screening and transaction monitoring in one case file. Perpetual KYC and KYB track ownership, director and behaviour changes across the relationship.
Mi Argentina and DNI-First Flow Design
Residents authenticate through Mi Argentina or RENAPER validation first, and customers without either move to passport or foreign-ID verification within the same flow.
Shufti's IDV/KYC Solutions for Argentina
KYC Solutions
Argentine nationals and foreign residents hold a RENAPER-issued DNI, many carry it in Mi Argentina, and international customers present foreign passports. One Shufti flow routes each by risk, so nobody faces checks they don't need.
Explore More
Face Verification
A stolen Argentine DNI can put a real identity in the wrong hands. Shufti matches the applicant's live face to the DNI or passport portrait and checks liveness, with biometric re-authentication available for wallet recovery and changes to withdrawal details.
.
Age Verification
Buenos Aires City's licensed online gaming platforms exclude under-18s. Shufti checks the date of birth on a DNI or other accepted identity document and matches it to the player. Facial age estimation can add an initial check, with documentary verification retained where required.
.
Bank Account Verification
For Argentine payouts to bank accounts (CBU) or payment accounts (CVU), account ownership matters as much as identity. Shufti matches customers to account holders through supported verification routes and adds biometric re-authentication when payout details change.
.
Address Verification
An Argentine customer's declared domicilio needs supporting address evidence. Shufti reads Spanish-language utility bills and bank statements, checks authenticity and recency, and compares the extracted address with the customer record. Standard and enhanced address verification are both available for Argentina.
.
Document Verification
Argentina's onboarding flows handle RENAPER-issued DNI, Argentine passports and foreign identity documents. Shufti combines structured OCR with nine forensic detection layers to examine identity fields, altered photographs and document manipulation. Compatible biometric passports can also undergo NFC chip and issuer-signature checks.
.
Identity Verification
Shufti's Argentine eIDV matches name and DNI number against government sources or authenticates the customer through Mi Argentina. Journey Builder connects that result with document verification and liveness, routing mismatches to further checks while keeping the evidence in one journey.
.KYB Solutions
An Argentine company's identity spans IGJ or provincial registry records, ARCA tax data and UIF's beneficial ownership rules. Shufti's Enhanced KYB pulls live registry data together with representative and beneficial-owner checks in one business-onboarding workflow.
Explore More
Business Verification
Onboarding an Argentine company means confirming its IGJ or provincial registration, its CUIT, its signatories and everyone who owns or controls 10% or more. Shufti's live registry call pulls that picture together in one check, putting corporate onboarding under two minutes.
.
Enhanced Due Diligence
For higher-risk Argentine customers, including PEP relationships and companies with layered foreign ownership, Shufti's branching questionnaires collect source-of-funds, source-of-wealth and ownership evidence. ARCA registration records and declared economic activity give your team local context for assessing the customer's explanations.
.AML Screening
A customer who is clean at onboarding can land on a list next week, and Argentina's PEP rules reach national, provincial and municipal office. Shufti screens against 4,000+ watchlists, including RePET and UN lists, refreshes data every 15 minutes and keeps each hit in one case file.
Explore More
Business AML Screening
An Argentine company may be locally registered while its owners or directors operate overseas. Shufti screens the entity and connected people for sanctions, PEP exposure and adverse media, with ongoing rescreening and available ownership-change alerts supporting perpetual KYB.
.
User Risk Assessment
For Argentine wallets and lenders, repeated onboarding attempts can signal identity abuse even when DNI details appear valid. Shufti's User Risk Assessment scores verification velocity, email, phone and IP signals, routing higher-risk applicants to stronger checks or enhanced due diligence.
.
Transaction Monitoring
For Argentine banks, payment providers and virtual-asset providers (PSAVs), repeated small transfers followed by rapid payouts can signal structuring or mule activity. Shufti evaluates transaction amounts, velocity, counterparties and customer history together, linking alerts to the verified people and accounts involved.
.
Agentic Rule Builder and Rules Library
Configure rules for Argentine peso payments, bank-to-wallet transfers and the customer's declared economic activity. Shufti's typology library and Agentic Rule Builder let your team set thresholds and velocity windows, backtest against historical transactions, and retain approvals and version history.
.
AML Case Management
Preparing a Reporte de Operaciones Sospechosas (ROS) for Argentina's UIF requires a documented rationale. Shufti's AML Case Management brings identity evidence, transactions and reviewer decisions into one case and files the report through SRO+ once the Oficial de Cumplimiento signs off.
.
Travel Rule
For Argentine PSAVs applying UIF Resolution 49/2024, Article 37, Shufti links originator and beneficiary information with customer verification and counterparty checks. Its IVMS 101-compatible workflows support information exchange through connected protocols, with the workflow configured to applicable UIF requirements.
.
AI Compliance Co-Pilot
When an Argentine customer shares a name with a foreign PEP, your team needs context to assess the hit. Shufti's AI Compliance Co-Pilot classifies screening matches with confidence scores and written reasons, supporting analyst review and Oficial de Cumplimiento sign-off.
.Built To Fit Argentina's Compliance Landscape
Argentina's AML framework combines national law, UIF resolutions written for each type of obliged entity, and the rules of sector supervisors. Shufti maps its KYC, KYB, AML screening and transaction monitoring controls to every regime below, so one platform covers each licence your group holds.
Law 25.246 and Its Amendments
Law 25.246, as amended by Law 27.739 in 2024 and Decree 274/2025, provides the national framework for preventing money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing. Its scope and the relevant UIF rules determine which businesses are obliged entities and which due-diligence, monitoring and reporting duties apply.
Unidad de Información Financiera
The UIF issues AML rules and receives regulated reports through SRO+. Its requirements differ by obliged-entity category. Identify the applicable resolution and amendments before configuring customer identification, beneficial-ownership checks, risk assessments, ongoing review and suspicious-operation reporting.
Banco Central de la República Argentina
BCRA requirements apply alongside UIF obligations for financial institutions and the payment or credit activities within its scope. UIF Resolution 14/2023, as amended by Resolution 199/2024, governs financial and exchange entities, while Resolution 200/2024 covers payment service providers and non-financial credit providers. "Fintech" alone does not determine the rulebook.
Comisión Nacional de Valores and PSAVs
The CNV supervises the capital market and maintains the registration framework for proveedores de servicios de activos virtuales, or PSAVs. Its PSAV framework includes General Resolution 1058/2025, alongside the separate AML requirements established by UIF Resolution 49/2024. Registration does not replace customer due diligence.
Insurance, Cooperatives and Mutual Entities
Insurers fall under the Superintendencia de Seguros de la Nación (SSN) and cooperatives and mutuals under INAES, alongside UIF requirements. UIF Resolution 126/2023 sets the insurance rules and Resolution 99/2023 covers relevant cooperative and mutual entities, so each firm applies the rules for its actual activity.
IGJ and the Competent Company Registries
Corporate evidence must be obtained from the registry responsible for the entity's jurisdiction. IGJ's role in Buenos Aires City should not be confused with nationwide coverage. Registration reports, certified documents and filed amendments help establish the business record, alongside separate beneficial-ownership enquiries.
RENAPER and Authorised Identity Validation
RENAPER issues the DNI and passport and runs SID, the national digital identity system that validates a person's data and face against the records captured at DNI issuance. Public bodies and private companies join SID through a formal adhesion process before using it for customer verification.
RePET, UN Designations and Relevant Screening Sources
UIF Resolution 14/2023, Article 8, requires financial entities to confirm that customers and beneficial owners are not listed on RePET before onboarding, and obliged entities must also check the UN Security Council consolidated list. UIF Resolution 207/2025 sets the procedure for handling potential matches.
Argentina Data Residency and Deployment
Shufti offers Argentina hosting alongside cloud, on-premises and air-gapped deployment, so identity data can stay in the country or inside your own infrastructure. Hosting locations and transfer arrangements are defined in your agreement before any data moves.
Argentina Personal Data Protection Law (Law 25.326)
Law 25.326 requires a lawful purpose, accurate data and adequate security for the personal data handled in onboarding. Shufti collects only the identity evidence each journey needs and supports the notices and documented basis your team relies on for biometric processing.
Address International Transfers Explicitly
Where identity data leaves Argentina, Law 25.326 and AAIP's adequacy guidance and contractual mechanisms set the conditions. Shufti documents processing, backup and support locations in your agreement, or keeps the data in Argentina when you choose local hosting.
Match Retention to the Record and Starting Event
UIF Resolution 14/2023, Article 17, requires banks to keep transaction records for ten years from the transaction and due-diligence records for ten years from the end of the relationship or the last transaction, whichever is later. Shufti's retention is configurable by client and record type, with legal holds.
Define Security and Access Controls
Shufti encrypts data in transit and at rest, enforces role-based access and logs every action for audit. Its ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications give your vendor assessment independent evidence of those controls.
Make Biometric Outcomes Explainable to Your Team
Use Shufti's verification results and supporting evidence to investigate disputed outcomes and determine the next appropriate check. Establish who may review sensitive information and how queries are escalated, without treating a biometric score as the sole explanation for every customer decision.
Keep Responsibility Clear
Shufti supplies verification and risk-management capabilities within the agreed service arrangement. Your firm remains responsible for its purposes, customer decisions, regulatory obligations and applicable privacy duties. Record the parties' respective roles in the processing agreement instead of assuming outsourcing transfers those responsibilities.

Identity Verification Built Around Your Industry in Argentina
Connect Onboarding With The Account Relationship
For peso and US-dollar accounts, Argentine banks need to connect the DNI holder or corporate signatory to the account relationship. Shufti combines document verification and liveness with KYB, beneficial-owner screening and transaction monitoring, helping teams investigate changing ownership, unusual transfers and account takeover with the original customer evidence at hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Shufti support Mi Argentina and RENAPER, and what happens when customers cannot use them?
Yes. Shufti authenticates customers through Mi Argentina and validates DNI data and faces against RENAPER through SID. Customers who cannot use either move to NFC, document and liveness checks in the same flow, so foreign residents and visitors still complete onboarding.
Can Shufti check employment, tax status and banking information in Argentina?
Yes. Shufti checks employment within the past six months, reported bank balances over 24 months, CUIT and CUIL registration and a deceased-person flag through Argentine data sources. Results give lenders and wallets due-diligence context, while affordability and source-of-funds decisions stay with your team.
Is scanning a DNI enough, or should verification include its chip?
A scan shows the visible data, while an NFC read checks the chip and its issuer signature, which a forger cannot copy. Shufti reads chips in Argentine ePassports and other compatible documents, compares the chip portrait with a live selfie, and adds RENAPER validation for DNI holders.
Can Shufti verify foreign documents or unfamiliar identity formats?
Yes. Shufti's zero-shot document intelligence learns new formats in minutes, classifying the document, extracting its fields and running authenticity checks. Foreign residents and visitors onboard with their home-country documents in the same flow as DNI holders, without waiting for a template update.
How does Shufti OCR handle Spanish identity documents?
Shufti's OCR returns structured fields from Spanish DNI, passport and licence data, including names with accents and compound surnames, birthdates, document numbers and expiry dates. Extraction and authenticity run as separate checks, so a clean read of a forged document still fails.
How does Shufti verify ownership when an Argentine company has several corporate layers?
Shufti combines live registry data, corporate documents and ownership mapping to trace each chain to the natural persons behind it, then verifies and screens every owner and director. It applies UIF's 10% capital or voting-rights threshold and ultimate-control test rather than a generic 25% cut-off.
Does Shufti's ongoing monitoring cover more than sanctions screening?
Yes. Shufti connects sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media, available registry and ownership changes, transaction monitoring and triggered identity checks. Perpetual KYC and KYB keep the relationship under review. Configure the relevant sources, events and review frequency for your sector and customer risk.
How does Shufti keep screening current and handle Spanish name variations?
Shufti refreshes sanctions, PEP and adverse media data every 15 minutes, with RePET and the UN Security Council list included. Matching handles accents, phonetic spellings and Spanish name order, and uses birthdate and nationality to separate a true match from a namesake.
Can our compliance team build and test transaction-monitoring rules?
Yes. Your team can start from Shufti's rules library, write rules manually or draft them with the Agentic Rule Builder, then backtest changes against historical transactions. Thresholds, velocity windows and escalation outcomes are configurable, with approvals and version history controlling each update.
Can we choose Argentina hosting or run verification inside our own infrastructure?
Yes. Shufti offers Argentina hosting alongside cloud, on-premises and air-gapped deployment, with controlled update mechanisms for restricted environments. Processing, storage, backup and support locations are defined in your agreement, so identity data stays where your licence and risk policy need it.
What controls help us protect identity and biometric data?
Shufti encrypts identity and biometric data in transit and at rest, enforces role-based access, logs every action and applies configurable retention. Your processing agreement records each party's responsibilities and any international transfers under Law 25.326, giving auditors a clear view of who handles what.
Can we configure different retention periods for different regulated activities?
Yes. Retention is configurable by licence, record type and starting event, with legal holds that pause deletion. Argentina's banking AML rules require ten years for transaction and due-diligence records, and Shufti can hold them for that period or longer where your policy demands it.
Does Shufti integrate directly with SRO+ for regulatory reporting?
Yes. Shufti's case management integrates directly with SRO+, so a ROS can be filed with the UIF from the case, carrying customer details, chronology, risk indicators, analyst notes and supporting evidence. Your Oficial de Cumplimiento reviews and approves each report before submission.
Can we add verification checks without rebuilding our onboarding journey?
Yes. Shufti's APIs, webhooks and web or mobile SDKs add checks as modules, and Journey Builder lets your team set conditions and fallback routes visually. A new KYC, KYB or AML step slots into your existing onboarding flow without rebuilding it.
How does Shufti make verification queries easier for customer support teams?
Shufti provides verification outcomes and supporting information through its API and back office. Authorised staff can examine the relevant result, identify missing evidence and explain appropriate next steps. Disputed outcomes can be escalated with the case history, giving support and compliance a shared record.
