The National Social Security Administration (Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social – ANSES) Biometric System (ABS) is responsible for validating the identity of individuals, simplifying and optimizing processes related to payment and life certificates for SIPA and non-contributory pensions beneficiaries and/or their proxies through a dynamic, secure, effective, reliable and simple technological system using biometric tools allowing fingerprints to be captured in digital form.

The system is implemented with the following functions:

Enrolment: capture of fingerprints by beneficiary/proxy allowing unequivocal identification.

Verification of identity: people are allowed to prove their identity using this computer tool, which simplifies procedures for beneficiaries and proxies.

Once the person is registered, life certification verification can be processed in the ANSES bureau or any banking branch through the services provided by the ANSES.
