The Order TDF/805/2026 publishes the final list of the 116 approved candidates in the selective tests by open access to the Secretary-Intervention Sub-scale of the Civil Service Scale of Local Administration with national qualification. The clock is ticking: the 20 business day deadline to request appointment started on August 1, 2026.
These positions were announced through the Order TDF/569/2025, of June 2, and the process culminates now with the official publication of approved candidates in the BOE.
What does this regulation establish?
Order TDF/805/2026 makes public the list of 116 people who have passed the selective tests by the general system of open access to the Secretary-Intervention Sub-scale. This sub-scale is part of the Civil Service Scale of Local Administration with national qualification.
The key aspects regulated by the order are as follows:
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Number of approved candidates | 116 people |
| Access system | Open access (general system) |
| Deadline to request appointment | 20 business days from BOE publication (August 1, 2026) |
| Submission channel | Electronic office of the competent Administration |
| Documentation to accredit | Nationality and academic qualification requirements |
| Option for direct consultation | The interested party may authorize the Administration to consult the data directly, avoiding providing them |
| Exception: qualifications prior to 1996 | Mandatory documentation; cannot be replaced by authorization for consultation |
| Exception: qualifications not issued before 2/7/2025 | Mandatory documentation; cannot be replaced by authorization for consultation |
| Approved candidates already in another sub-scale | Must still submit the application, indicating such circumstance |
Economic and operational impact
For the 116 approved candidates, the impact is direct and immediate: appointment as civil service trainee is the necessary prior step to definitively access the Secretary-Intervention Sub-scale. Failure to submit the application within the 20 business day deadline is, in practice, equivalent to losing the position obtained after the selective process.
From the perspective of municipalities and local entities, the incorporation of 116 new nationally qualified civil servants in the Secretary-Intervention sub-scale represents an expansion of the pool of professionals available to fill vacancies in municipalities that currently lack a permanent holder or operate with temporary staff.
The operational cost for approved candidates is concentrated in document management: accrediting nationality and qualification, or authorizing direct consultation. The procedure is electronic, which reduces administrative burden, except in exceptional cases (qualifications prior to 1996 or issued after July 2, 2025), where document submission is mandatory.
Who does it affect?
- The 116 approved candidates in the Secretary-Intervention selective tests announced by Order TDF/569/2025: must act within the next 20 business days.
- Approved candidates who already belong to another sub-scale of the Civil Service Scale of Local Administration with national qualification: must also submit the application, expressly indicating such circumstance.
- Approved candidates with qualifications prior to 1996 or whose qualification was not issued before July 2, 2025: must provide physical documentation as mandatory, with no possibility of replacing it with authorization for consultation.
- Municipalities and local entities with vacancies in Secretary-Intervention: will be able to fill positions with the new nationally qualified civil servants once the appointment process is completed.
- Advisors and HR managers in local administrations who manage the incorporation processes of nationally qualified civil servants.
Practical example
Suppose a person has passed the tests and obtained their university degree in 1994 (prior to 1996). In this case, they cannot authorize the Administration to consult their qualification data directly: they must physically provide the documentation accrediting their academic qualification along with the application for appointment as civil service trainee.
If, on the other hand, the qualification was issued in 2022, the approved candidate can check the option for direct consultation authorization in the electronic office and avoid having to attach the document. The procedure is significantly simplified.
In both cases, the application must be submitted before the 20 business days expire counted from August 1, 2026. A delay, even by one day, can jeopardize the appointment.
What should the approved candidates do now?
- Verify that you appear on the published list in the BOE of August 1, 2026 (Order TDF/805/2026). Check your name in the official list before any other step.
- Calculate the exact deadline: you have 20 business days from August 1, 2026. Identify the deadline date on your calendar, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays.
- Access the electronic office of the competent Administration and locate the application form for appointment as civil service trainee.
- Review your documentation situation: if your qualification is prior to 1996 or was not issued before July 2, 2025, prepare the documentation accrediting nationality and qualification to attach it as mandatory. If this is not your case, consider authorizing direct consultation to simplify the procedure.
- If you already belong to another sub-scale of the Civil Service Scale of Local Administration with national qualification, still submit the application and expressly indicate such circumstance in the form.
- Save the electronic submission receipt as proof of having met the deadline.
