The Municipality of Córdoba put an end to a long-standing dispute by regulating yesterday the ordinance that legitimizes the activity of transportation apps. The measure makes the legal framework approved months ago operational and provides certainty to a service that grew despite attempts at prohibition. From now on, companies and drivers must register in a digital registry and meet authorization requirements.
The new system will be managed by the Undersecretariat of Mobility and Transit, which will administer the Municipal Digital Registry. Platforms, vehicle owners, and drivers must register there, and will be subject to ongoing oversight.The goal is to ensure control, traceability, and safety conditions for all trips within the city.
Companies will also be required to report drivers' daily activity and their connection times. They must also verify that each driver has the required permits before authorizing them to operate. The enforcement authority will have up to thirty days to grant the corresponding authorizations.
Pese a los intentos de prohibición por parte del gremio de taxistas, las apps de transportes ya son legales en Córdoba
Requirements for drivers and vehicles
Drivers must have a professional Class D1 license and present national and provincial background certificates. In addition, they must provide proof of not being registered in the Registry of Persons Convicted of Crimes Against Sexual Integrity. Each authorized vehicle will have a visible QR code, certifying its municipal authorization.
As for the cars, they must pass the Technical Vehicle Inspection every six months, except for brand new vehicles, which will have an annual inspection during the first two years. A special policy from the National Superintendency of Insurance, adapted to digital transportation services, is also required.With these conditions, the aim is to equalize controls among taxis, remises, and apps.
Companies will have sixty days to adapt their platforms and integrate into the municipal registry. Drivers already registered will have one hundred and twenty days to complete any missing documentation. Once that period has expired, non-regularized authorizations will be void.
With this regulation, the city closes a debate that spanned three mayoral terms and a decade of conflict. The decision marks the end of administrative persecution of app drivers, who for years worked informally. Córdoba thus joins the cities that recognize the effectiveness of a service chosen by thousands of users every day.
