Hi!

Found in clinical trial documents coming out of Argentina, doctor seals; it is either Matricula Profesional de Buenos Aires OR Matricula Provincial/de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, does anyone know which one is the correct expansion?

Thanks!

Explanation:
Although there are a few references in a few places to the "matrícula provincial" or "matriculación provincial", I can't find the expression "Matrícula Provincial de Buenos Aires". The full form seems to be "Matrícula Profesional". I presume that MPBA actually stands for "Matrícula Profesional Buenos Aires", but when it is expanded it almost always appears as "Matrícula Profesional de la Provincia de Buenos Aires" (although you don't find the abbreviation MPPBA). So "Provincia" is simply excluded from the acronym.

MPBA certainly can stand for Ministerio Público de la Provincia de Buenos Aires ( http://www.mpba.gov.ar/web/ )— note again that "Provincia" is not included in the acronym — but medical "matrículas" or professional licenses are issued by the Ministerio de Salud:
http://www.ms.gba.gov.ar/habilitaciones/rup.html

Here is a Ministry document which uses the expression indicated:

"Constancia de matrícula profesional de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, la que podrá ser presentada, y como plazo máximo, hasta el momento de la toma de posesión de la beca."

"Matrícula" could be translated as "Registration", because it involves being included in the RUP (Registro Único de Profesionales de la Salud), but in practice it is a license to practice, so I think "Professional License" would be OK as well.

You're welcome! But be careful not to put "Public Department" or "Attorney General's Office", which of course are quite wrong here :)
