The final list of approved candidates in the selective process for open access to the Navy Arsenal Officers Corps is now official. Resolution 430/38389/2026, published in the BOE on September 21, 2026, concludes the selection phase initiated with the November 2025 call and opens the critical deadline for selected candidates to formalize their incorporation.
The deadline allows no delays: 20 business days from publication in the BOE. After that time, whoever has not submitted complete documentation will lose their position and all actions in the process will be annulled.
What does this regulation establish?
Resolution 430/38389/2026 publishes the final list of candidates who have passed the selective process for admission, through the open access system, to the Navy Arsenal Officers Corps. This process was called through Resolution 430/38509/2025, of November 27, 2025.
Approved candidates are distributed in the following 11 specialty programs:
| Program / Specialty |
|---|
| Adjuster |
| Heating-Plumbing Technician |
| Composition |
| Cabinetmaker-Carpenter |
| Electronics |
| Bookbinding |
| Photographer |
| Printing |
| Installer-Assembler |
| Automotive Mechanics |
| Construction Mason Officer |
The regulation also establishes a relevant rule regarding positions reserved for persons with disabilities: those that have not been filled in the reserved category are not accumulated to the general category. They simply remain vacant.
Economic and operational impact
For approved candidates, the impact is immediate and direct: the position in the Navy Arsenal Officers Corps means access to stable public employment with the remuneration conditions and career prospects typical of the Defense sector.
The main operational risk is failure to meet the documentation deadline. The regulation is categorical: failure to submit within 20 business days or failure to accredit any of the required requirements entails automatic loss of the position and annulment of all actions in the selective process for that candidate. There is no second chance or extension provided.
From a management perspective, approved candidates must coordinate in parallel the obtaining and submission of several documents, some of which may require processing time (such as the medical certificate). Starting this process on the same day of publication is the safest strategy.
Who does it affect?
- Approved candidates in any of the 11 programs of the selective process for open access to the Navy Arsenal Officers Corps (2025 call).
- Candidates in the reserved category for persons with disabilities who have passed the process: they must also comply with the documentation deadline.
- Candidates on waiting lists who could benefit from resignations: they should be alert to possible calls, although the regulation does not accumulate disability positions to the general category.
Practical example
A candidate approved in the Electronics program receives notification of publication in the BOE on September 21, 2026. From that day, they have 20 business days to submit all required documentation telematically.
The documentation they must gather and submit includes:
- Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) diploma
- Sworn statement
- National Identity Document (DNI)
- Medical certificate
- Destination request
If this candidate does not submit the medical certificate within the deadline because it took time to request it, they will lose their position permanently, even if they have submitted the rest of the documentation. The regulation does not allow partial submissions outside the deadline. The practical recommendation is to request the medical certificate on September 21 itself, as it is the document that can take the longest to obtain.
What should approved candidates do now?
- Verify the list of approved candidates in the BOE (Resolution 430/38389/2026, published on 21/09/2026) to confirm that your name appears in the corresponding program.
- Calculate the exact deadline: count 20 business days from September 21, 2026, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays. Do not wait until the last day.
- Request the medical certificate immediately: it is the document that can take the longest to obtain. Start the process on the same day of publication.
- Gather the rest of the documentation: ESO diploma, DNI, sworn statement, and destination request. Make sure all documents are current and legible.
- Submit all documentation telematically before the deadline expires. Keep the submission receipt as proof.
- Review that you accredit all requirements: failure to accredit any requirement has the same effect as not submitting documentation — loss of position.
