Any branch should be able to do it, you just need a Precaria, passport, CUIL, and a receipt showing your address (or you can do it with a police address certificate or something like that).

    Recently, a girl who was going to be sold for a piece of land and 4,000 usd in Concordia, Entre Ríos, was rescued by the Gendarmería. Is this really happening? I hadn’t heard of anything like this before the Loan case...

    Newcomer Due to the crisis, there are blocks-long lines for the vigil of San Cayetano

    I'm amazed at what faith and need can drive people to do. Amid the economic crisis, dozens of people gathered on Tuesday around the San Cayetano Sanctuary in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Liniers, waiting for the mass scheduled for Wednesday morning.

    This new measure of not having to renew your driver's license and being able to handle everything online is excellent.
