The Matricula Consular is the name Argentina uses for its consular identification (CID) card.[1] The term is also used by other Spanish speaking countries, such as the Mexican CID.
According to the Argentinian Consulate in Los Angeles, CID cards have a lot of benefits for Argentine citizens. It is impossible to deport a CID card holder. Moreover, it can be used to board airplanes, gain access to banking, credits, libraries, municipal programs and funerals.[1]
