He was married to María Benítez de Pons, their sons were Mario and Alfredo Cipriano Pons Benítez. On July 22, 1927 he entered the foreign service of Argentina and became third class consul in Hamburg. On March 31, 1928, he was transferred to the consulate in Bremen with the same position. On April 11, 1928, he was transferred to the consulate in Berlin. On June 2, 1932, he was assigned to the Buenos Aires State Department. On March 31, 1933, he was sent to the consulate in Hamburg. His superior, Bartolomé Daneri, rated him "very good" in January 1935, an assessment that the qualification committee also shared in October 1935. On February 11, 1939, he was appointed second class consul. On August 29, 1940, he was appointed First Class Consul. On July 31, 1942, he was assigned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Buenos Aires. From July 15, 1943 to February 16, 1944, he headed the consulate in Berlin. In the Argentine missions in, the practice of issuing visas was shaped by Directive 11 ; it was reported that Alfredo Cipriano Pons recognized a margin of discretion and used it in favor of the persecuted. He had good contacts with German authorities, he was ascribed an anti-Semitic attitude and he was open to those in distress. In at least one verifiable case in 1940 he helped a German Jewess, contrary to the rigid regulations of his government, to obtain an entry permit (llamada).

In September 1938 Pons sued Jürgen Ziebell because he had promised entry visas to South American countries for large sums of money. Ziebell brokered stolen Finnish passports that were found to be unusable.

On February 16, 1944, the two governments severed diplomatic relations.

In December 1944 his assessment was confirmed very well by a commission. From August 9, 1945 to November 7, 1946, Exequatur had been employed as consul general in Antwerp .
