According to the resolution published today in the Official Gazette, public transportation users must "nominalize their SUBE card", i.e., they will have to register their card in their name through the official website. If they do not comply with this requirement, they will pay "a differential fare".

Thus, those who travel on buses within CABA and the Buenos Aires suburbs with a nominalized card will have to pay $270 for a distance of less than 3 kilometers, but if the card is not identified, they will have to pay $430 and $420 on trains.

On the other hand, the Social Tariff aimed at a group of ANSES beneficiaries such as retirees and pensioners, which applies a 55% discount on the fare, will continue to be in force.

According to the Official Gazette, the negative balance of the SUBE will be set at 4 minimum tickets, i.e., a debt of $1080 since February.

Step by step: how to register your SUBE card:

  1. Go to www.argentina.gob.ar/sube
  2. Click on "Register it."
  3. Fill out the form with personal details such as name, ID number, procedure number, email, cellphone number, and card number.
  4. Once completed, choose a password, accept the Terms and Conditions, and click "Continue."
  5. You will receive an email for confirmation. Click on "Validate," and you're all set. Your SUBE card is now registered!
If you prefer to do it in person, go to a Customer Service Center with your ID.
 
When you visit https://www.argentina.gob.ar/sube and click on "Registrala," you'll notice a question mark ❓ next to the "DNI" field. This indicates that they provide assistance if you don't have a DNI (Argentinian National Identity Document). They offer links to contact them via social media for further assistance in such cases. So, it appears that it might be possible for foreigners to register their SUBE card even without a DNI.

"Para crear tu cuenta es necesario contar con el DNI vigente. Si aún no lo tenés, escribinos por Instagram / Facebook / Twitter o WhatsApp para que podamos ayudarte"

  • Vicente López 2050, 3rd floor, Recoleta

The website was down this morning, it seems that it can only be done in the service centers.
