Approved Administrative Body State Statistics Examinations 2026: 94 positions and key deadlines

Key data

The selective process called in December 2025 for the General Administrative Body of the State Administration, Statistics specialty, reaches its final phase with the publication of the definitive list of candidates who have passed it. The Resolution of July 20, 2026 from the State Secretariat for Public Function formalizes the result and activates immediate deadlines for four of the approved candidates.

With 94 positions filled in total, this process is one of the most relevant of the year in the field of public statistics. The allocation of positions will be made following an offer by the calling body, so approved candidates must be attentive to official communications that will follow this resolution.

What does this resolution establish?

The resolution publishes the definitive list of candidates who have passed the selective process for admission to the General Administrative Body of the State, Statistics specialty, called through Resolution of December 23, 2025. Access has been structured through two channels:

• General free access system: 90 positions.
• Internal promotion: 4 positions.

Additionally, the resolution identifies four specific candidates who, having passed the process, must submit additional documentation within a period of 20 business days counted from the publication date in the BOE (July 28, 2026). The required documentation is:

• Type B driver's license, or
• High school diploma.

Non-compliance with this deadline has direct and irreversible consequences: loss of position and annulment of all actions carried out in the selective process. No extensions or corrections outside the deadline are contemplated according to what was published.

Regarding positions, the resolution establishes that allocation will be made following an offer by the calling body, which means that approved candidates will have to wait for a subsequent communication to learn their final position.

Against this resolution, two appeal options are available:

Operational impact and critical deadlines

For the 94 approved candidates, this resolution marks the beginning of the phase of effective incorporation into public service. The deadlines that are activated from July 28, 2026 are:

For administrations and organizations that will incorporate these new civil servants, the resolution means the beginning of the planning process for incorporating them into the statistics units of the General State Administration.

Who does it affect?

• The 90 approved candidates from free competition who have passed the selective process and await position allocation.
• The 4 approved candidates from internal promotion in the same situation regarding position allocation.
• The 4 candidates with pending documentation, who have a peremptory deadline of 20 business days to not lose their position.
• Candidates not included in the list who believe they have been improperly excluded and wish to file an appeal.
• Statistics units of the General State Administration that will incorporate the new civil servants.
• Advisors and human resources managers in public organizations that must plan the incorporations.

Practical example

One of the four candidates with pending documentation has passed all the tests of the selective process called in December 2025, but at the time of final verification had not proven to be in possession of the high school diploma. The resolution published on July 28, 2026 grants him 20 business days to submit said diploma to the calling body.

If that candidate submits the diploma within the deadline (approximately before August 26, 2026, excluding holidays), his position is consolidated and he moves to the position allocation phase along with the rest of the approved candidates. If he does not submit it, he loses the position permanently and all his actions in the process are annulled, with no possibility of recovering his position in the selective process.

This type of situation underscores the importance of having all supporting documentation prepared and located before the selective process ends, especially for requirements that may seem secondary such as a type B driver's license.

What should approved candidates do now?

1. Verify if you are among the 4 with pending documentation: Check the resolution published in the BOE on July 28, 2026 to see if your name appears among the candidates with an obligation to submit additional documentation.
2. Submit the type B license or high school diploma in 20 business days: If you are one of the four affected, submit the required documentation to the calling body before the deadline expires (approximately August 26, 2026). Do not wait until the last day.
3. Wait for the position allocation offer: The remaining approved candidates (the 90 from free competition and the 4 from internal promotion without issues) must be attentive to the official communication from the calling body regarding the position offer.
4. Consider filing an appeal if you believe you have been improperly excluded: You have 1 month to file a motion for reconsideration or 2 months to pursue administrative contentious appeal from July 28, 2026.
5. Prepare incorporation documentation: Although the position has not yet been allocated, anticipate the collection of usual documents for incorporation into public service (proof of qualifications, bank details, medical certificates, etc.).
