Records Law No. 26.685, which authorises the use of digital files, documents, signatures,
communications and e-mail addresses in judicial and administrative proceedings throughout
the country’s judicial system, and gives the digital versions equal legal effect and probative
value as the conventional equivalents.
Public administration involves constantly designing new tools to meet this constantly evolving
“contextual reality”. That is why, when proposing reform of the National Register of Repeat
Offenders Law 22.117, we highlighted the value of biometry as a fundamental element in the
fight against crime and reaffirmed its singular importance in the design of security policies.
We believe that the key to defining successful strategies for the simplification of public
administrative processes lies in the capacity to establish a management model appropriate to
their specific functions, which means abandoning out-dated policies in favour of the concept
of the open and proactive organisation.
The guiding principles of cooperation, interconnection and interoperability on which current
public policy is based, and constant technological innovation in digital environments, have
enabled the construction of new platforms designed to broaden the service traditionally
provided by the National Register of Repeat Offenders with the aim of increasing its interaction
with the security forces through the National Default and Detention Order Enquiry System
(CoNaRC), with the National Road Safety Agency through the National Disqualified Driver
Enquiry System (CoNIC), and with the National Register of Persons for the issue of new passports
(CoNAAP).

“Someone else already has the information I need”
Digital inclusion is the strategy at the heart of the current government’s promotion, through
its National Telecommunications Plan “Argentina Conectada” (Argentina Connected), of the
new social structures created by the advent of the Internet. This makes it possible to consider
strategic mergers within public administration in order to centralise information and thus help
each government body perform their specific functions.
The coordination and integration of biometric databases through technological platforms
presents the state with new scenarios in which accurate and rapid identification of individuals is
vital. For those organisations which, like ours, are linked to the identification of individuals, that
integration is strategic, since it allows the exchange of biometric information which is currently
contained in strictly compartmentalised.
The implementation of a platform will advance the treatment of biometric data through the use
of digital environments that highlight the improved running of the state.
In some way these developments are the catalyst for continued construction of a networked
