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.

What protection in Buenos Aires costs.

As a guide, professional close protection in Argentina is, in 2026, from EUR 850 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover - the market base - with the final rate shaped by the profile, the threat picture and the season, and confirmed on enquiry with no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.

Protecting celebrities & public figures

Actors, musicians, athletes, royals and the people the world recognises - celebrity protection is its own discipline: anti-paparazzi strategy, leak-proof operations, crowd and stalker management, and details that switch from red carpet to invisible in the same day.

Good to Know

Bodyguard in Argentina - Frequently Asked Questions

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

Due diligence is the real obstacle in Buenos Aires. Custodia personal is regulated jurisdiction by jurisdiction, and confirming that a firm and its people hold a current habilitación under Law 5688, then judging how they actually perform on the street, is beyond what a visitor can establish from abroad. Algoz has spent that effort already: we have worked with providers across the capital, kept those who met our standard and discarded the rest. Engage us and we assign a vetted, NDA-bound team for your movements from Recoleta to Mendoza, supervise it throughout and remain your single accountable contact, so the outcome never rests on an untested vendor.

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?

Often, yes. Tell us early and we can offer a choice of operative: bilingual Spanish and English officers for restaurant evenings in Palermo, a female custodio for family outings, or a low-key presence suited to estancia visits and vineyard transfers. Whatever the preference, the deciding factor is always our professional security assessment; client choice operates inside that frame, never above it.
