What this document is
Also known as: comprobante de domicilio · proof of address
A document tying you to a local address: a utility bill, a registered rental contract, or a certificado de domicilio issued by the police. Providers use it for anti-money-laundering checks rather than to prove who you are.
How to get it
- 01A utility bill in your own name is the cleanest option, and the hardest to obtain early.
- 02A registered rental contract is the usual substitute; some providers accept a landlord letter alongside it.
- 03A certificado de domicilio from the local comisaría works where neither exists.
What it will not get you
A foreign address is usually rejected outright. Bills in a landlord's or flatmate's name are accepted by some providers and refused by others — check the profile before you rely on it.

FAQ
- Can a foreigner open a bank account in Argentina without a DNI?
- 2 services match, but none has enough verified evidence for us to rank it yet. Compare them below and check each profile for what is still missing.
- What is a CUIL and how do I get one?
- A CUIL is a tax ID issued by ANSES; foreigners can request one with a passport. Many accounts accept it instead of a DNI.
- Which document should I get first?
- The CUIL or CDI. Nearly every account that accepts foreigners asks for one, it is issued on a passport alone, and it does not depend on your residency file being accepted.
- Will I have to redo this once my DNI arrives?
- Usually not for the account itself, but update the document on file — some providers raise limits or unlock credit products once a DNI is registered.
