Passports

We no longer issue standard (5 and 10 year) British passports at this Embassy. You now need to apply for your passport at our Regional Passport Processing Centre in Washington. The Regional Passport Processing Centre website will tell you everything you need to know about applying for a new or replacement British passport from Argentina.

Further detailed information on the application process is available here.

Why have we done this? Please see this leaflet [PDF, 77.0 Kb] for all the changes related to the way we issue passports overseas.  If you need to travel urgently and your standard passport is not available we may be able to help you with emergency travel documentation:

• The Emergency Travel Document Leaflet 
• Emergency Travel Document Application Form (Rest of the World) [PDF, 168.3 Kb].

PLEASE NOTE: Argentina requires holders of an Emergency Travel Document to obtain a visitor's visa before entering the country. This can take between 5-10 working days. We also strongly recommend that if going to or transitting the US you should obtain a visa beforehand. If you intend travelling to any other country on an Emergency Travel Document you should contact the relevant embassy beforehand.

Please call the Consular Section of the Embassy and explain that you need to travel urgently.
