Marriage and Argentinian Citizenship: What You Need to Know in 2025

Marriage to an Argentinian citizen can provide a smoother pathway to naturalization, but it’s not an automatic right to citizenship. Here’s what you should know if you’re applying through your spouse.

Does Marriage Guarantee Citizenship?

No. Being married to an Argentinian doesn’t grant automatic citizenship. However, it may reduce residency requirements and positively influence the court’s decision.

What’s Required?

• Legal marriage certificate

• Proof of cohabitation or family ties

• Supporting documents from your spouse (DNI, citizenship proof)

• Standard residency duration (may be shortened at the court’s discretion)

How Long Does It Take?

Timelines vary by region and court, but some applications are expedited when marriage is involved, particularly if children are part of the household.

Why Citizenship via Marriage Still Matters

It gives you full legal rights in the country, including work and travel freedoms, social services access, and voting rights.
