Argentine emergency passport
The Argentine emergency passport is a travel document that is issued by Argentina's consular representatives overseas. Its issuance is restricted to extraordinary circumstances where the applicant can provide proof of an emergency requiring immediate travel, along with the necessary supporting documentation.
This passport has a one-year maximum validity and can be requested by Argentine citizens by birth, naturalization, or choice. Its issuance does not take the place of processing the electronic passport, which needs to be applied for concurrently. In situations where an ordinary passport cannot be issued within the normal timeframes, the document allows Argentine citizens to continue their travels or return to the country.
