What changed and who it applies to

What changed
The Ministry of Justice creates the Automotive Property Registry Module (MRPA), set at 0.5 UVA and updated every four months according to the BCRA's UVA (Res. 308/2026, Art. 1). The MRPA is the new unit for pricing the procedures of the Annexes of Resolution 314/2002 (Art. 2): it progressively replaces the schedule of more than one hundred fees with a single indexed unit. In parallel, Res. 306/2026 creates the National Plan for the Digitalization and Comprehensive Reorganization of the Automotive Registry System (digital transformation of procedures, evolution of the registry offices, regulatory adaptation), with the Secretariat of Citizen Engagement Policies as enforcement authority. verif · Jul 7, 2026
In force
In force since 3 August 2026, not since publication: the resolution «shall enter into force on the first business day of the month following the date of its publication in the OFFICIAL GAZETTE, except for articles 1 and 2, which shall enter into force on the day following their issuance». It was published on 7 July 2026, so the following month is August and its first business day is Monday 3 August 2026 (the 1st fell on a Saturday). Articles 1 and 2 — the ones creating the fee module — have been in force since 4 July 2026, the day after they were issued. verif · Aug 3, 2026
Who it affects
The entire automotive market across the provinces (the section registries are national): dealerships, fleets, SMEs, the used-car market and the individuals who register or transfer a vehicle. It replaces an opaque schedule of 100+ fees with a single UVA-indexed module and drives the digitalization of the procedure and the consolidation of the network of ~1,500 registry offices. prob · Jul 7, 2026

Our reading

State deregulation/simplification (R-desregulación): it unifies and makes transparent the automotive fee and digitalizes the procedure end to end, pressing the consolidation of a historically rent-seeking network of registry offices. It lowers the transaction cost of registering/transferring a car nationwide. The granular level (fee per procedure) is not yet closed: the DNRNPACP provision assigning the modules is still pending. thesis

Where it lands, province by province

Applies the same nationwide

We looked at this rule from each of the five provinces we track and found no effect that lands differently in any of them: it applies the same across the country.
