The CUD, and what it entitles the holder to
Argentina issues the Certificado Único de Discapacidad (CUD), assessed by a junta evaluadora interdisciplinaria under Ley 22.431 and Ley 24.901. It is a single national document and it is not a medical report — it is the instrument that opens entitlements.
Those entitlements are concrete and unusually broad: free public transport nationwide, full coverage of prescribed treatment and medication by the holder's health cover, vehicle import and tax benefits, and a reserved employment quota in the public sector. A US reader who treats the CUD as a doctor's note has misread its function.
It expires, and the expiry is the usual defect
The CUD is issued for a stated term — commonly a few years, sometimes longer or permanent for irreversible conditions — and it is reassessed at renewal. A CUD past its date evidences nothing about current status.
The validity date is printed on the card and is frequently the field an applicant does not think to check. We translate both faces of the document and the validity field prominently.
The diagnosis is coded, not described
The CUD records the diagnosis by ICD code and the orientation and type of disability in categorical terms rather than in narrative. The supporting certificado médico and the junta's file hold the clinical detail.
So the CUD alone tells a US office that Argentina recognised a disability, and not what it is. Where the substance matters, send the medical certificate too and we translate both consistently.
The junta, and where it sits
Assessment is carried out by provincial juntas evaluadoras operating under national criteria, so the issuing body is a provincial health authority and the format varies. We name the province and the junta exactly as printed.
The holder's DNI appears on the certificate and does not change, which makes it the cross-check against the rest of the packet. See our Spanish page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
Frequently asked questions
Is the CUD a medical report?
No. It is the statutory instrument that opens entitlements — transport, treatment coverage, tax benefits. The clinical detail is in the supporting certificate.
Does it expire?
Yes, on a stated date, and an expired CUD evidences nothing about current status. It is the commonest defect.
What does the code on it mean?
An ICD diagnosis code. The CUD records the category rather than a narrative, so send the medical certificate if the substance matters.
Who issues it?
A provincial junta evaluadora applying national criteria. We name the province and the body exactly.
