Argentina Licensing (Ley 5688)

Why protection in Buenos Aires must be licensed.

In Argentina, private security — including personal protection, legally defined as custodia personal — is licensed at jurisdictional level. In the City of Buenos Aires it is governed by Law 5688 (Book VI) and administered by the Dirección General de Seguridad Privada y Custodia de Bienes; companies and operatives must hold a current habilitación, and protection personnel carry an official credential. Providers operate in coordination with, and never in place of, the police.

Algoz coordinates protection in Buenos Aires exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative vetted, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across South America to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

Good to Know

Bodyguard in Argentina — Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Algoz rather than hiring a local security agency in Buenos Aires directly?

Because vetting an unknown local security agency in Buenos Aires yourself is where the real risk lies. Standards, licensing and discipline vary widely between firms, and a principal cannot tell a properly licensed, reliable operator from an underqualified one until something goes wrong in the field, when it is already too late. Algoz knows the Buenos Aires market in Argentina: we have already worked with these providers, vetted them and kept only the best. Engage us and we select the right team for your profile, brief them under NDA and supervise them closely against our own standard throughout — so you gain genuine local knowledge and full licensing without gambling on an untested agency. One accountable point of contact owns the outcome, and you are never left managing an unfamiliar vendor in a foreign city.

Do you provide licensed close protection in Buenos Aires?

Yes. Licensed close protection officers and secure transport cover arrivals, residences, events and movements for visiting principals and executives, coordinated in Spanish and English under NDA.

Is Buenos Aires safe for visitors?

Buenos Aires and Argentina are generally safe for visitors, though vigilance is advisable. Qualified professionals ensure comfort, discretion and operational reliability, with a bodyguard adding protection where appropriate.

Do you cover destinations beyond Buenos Aires?

Yes. We coordinate protection and VIP services across Buenos Aires and destinations including Mendoza and Mar del Plata. Please share your itinerary when enquiring.

Can you combine security with transport and concierge?

Yes. Transportation, security and VIP services are arranged together, from private estancia visits and vineyard transfers to dining and nightlife.

How much notice do you need?

Most assignments are arranged on short lead times; for the best solution management we recommend giving as much notice as possible.

Can the client choose the bodyguard they prefer?

In many cases, yes. Given sufficient notice, and provided the request can be accommodated without compromising safety, the client may select the profile of the operative, and in most engagements is offered this choice. It cannot, however, override our professional security assessment, which always takes precedence.
