The foreign mission must notify to the National Protocol Department when a civil servant is soon to end his posting in Argentina.
Once his posting is terminated, the civil servant must return his credentials as well as his car number plates and documentation. He will then be able to export (or re-export) his personal belongings as well as his car.
Cars that are not re-exported have to be nationalized or transferred to a beneficiary with the same privilege.
