Hi Everyone

I am working on a project, and I need to confirm that Brazilian citizens can travel to Argentina without a passport. I have seen this stated several places on-line, including Wikipedia. But since a real decision turns on it, I need to be certain.

Does anyone have an authoritative source that I can look at to reassure myself?

Does anyone have personal experience that this is true?

I know the SDMB knows everything, so I turn to you for help!

Thanks  
OO

Why don’t you ask Argentina’s embassy?

According to [to Argentina’s Immigration Page,](http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesible/indexN.php?doc_viaje), and considering I’m not familiar with Argentine usage, one could enter with any of the following:

[ul]  
[li]Registro de Identidad Civil (this is probably a national ID).[/li][li]Cédula de Identidad expedida por cada Unidad de la Federación con validez Nacional (this is probably a state/province/division/local ID).[/li][li]Cédula de Identidad de extranjero expedida por el Ministerio de Justicia (some official foreign ID issued by the Department or Ministry of Justice)[/li][li]Pasaporte (Passport).[/li][/ul]

Thanks a lot Balthisar. That’s just the sort of official reference I was looking for.

Cédula de Identidad expedida por cada Unidad de la Federación con validez Nacional - Identity card issued for each unit of the Federation with national validity

Cédula de Identidad de extranjero expedida por el Ministerio de Justicia - Foreign Identity Card issued by the Ministry of Justice

According to Google Translate
