Driver training and licensing updates in Argentina

Administrative updates regarding driver licensing and vocational training have been reported across different regions in Argentina.

In Bahía Blanca, the municipality implemented a temporary measure for first-time driver's license applicants. Due to updates to the municipal virtual platform, applicants must complete the National Digital Road Safety Education Course through the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV), though they must still pass the local theoretical exam. Additionally, in Baradero, the Mirgor Foundation, the local municipality, and the SMATA union launched a Basic Initial Course for production operators to provide industrial training for individuals without prior experience.

In Catamarca, Mayor Gustavo Saadi and Provincial Minister of Transport Lucas Poliche signed an agreement to establish theoretical and practical training for professional drivers seeking interjurisdictional licenses. The initiative will utilize the capital city's testing track and License Issuance Center to allow local and provincial drivers to complete assessments without traveling to other jurisdictions. Training is scheduled to begin following administrative approval from the ANSV.
