Argentina CUIT for foreigners
English-Speaking Tax ID Attorneys in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Why Foreigners Need a CUIT
Since March 2026, the CUIT is the tax ID ARCA gives to foreigners: it replaced the old CDI. You need it to buy, sell or rent out property, open a bank account, set up a company, receive income from Argentina or handle a probate. It’s one of the services we handle as tax lawyers in Argentina.
We Get It for You, Without You Traveling
If you live abroad, ARCA requires a representative with an address in Argentina: that’s Elias Kier Joffe. We prepare the power of attorney in English, and you sign it on a video call before our own U.S. notary public, from any state. We handle the apostille, the sworn translation and the filing with ARCA.
Already in Argentina? We Handle That Too
If you’re here without a DNI (National Identity Document), you sign a power of attorney at our office and we get your CUIT. If your residency is in process, we file under ARCA’s special procedure for foreigners without a DNI. And if you already have a DNI, we register you directly.
After You Get Your CUIT
With your CUIT, you can move ahead with what brought you here: buying real estate, settling a probate or setting up your business. Our team takes care of each step.
One Point of Contact for Legal, Tax and Notarial Matters
We are a one-stop legal solution. Our team includes lawyers, accountants, Argentine notaries (escribanos) and certified translators, all under one roof and coordinated by attorney Elias Kier Joffe.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can a foreigner get a CUIT without being in Argentina?
Yes. If you live abroad, you request it through a representative with an address in Argentina. Elias Kier Joffe acts as your representative, and you sign the power of attorney by video call.
I already have a CDI. Do I need a CUIT?
Since March 2, 2026, ARCA gives foreigners a CUIT instead of a CDI. CDIs issued before that date stay valid, but if you need to update your data, you’ll move to a CUIT. We tell you if your case needs it.
How long does it take to get a CUIT?
It depends mostly on the apostille and the translation of your power of attorney. We give you a realistic timeline in your free video call.
How much does it cost to get a CUIT?
ARCA doesn’t charge for the registration. You pay our fees and the costs of the power of attorney, apostille and sworn translation. After your free video call, we send you a written quote.
Is the CUIT the same as the CUIL?
For people who have a CUIT, the CUIL (the labor and social security number) is the same 11-digit number.
Do I need a CUIT just to visit Argentina?
No. If you only visit as a tourist and have no income, assets or contracts here, you generally don’t need one.
