If you are an active teaching civil servant anywhere in Spain and want to transfer to Aragón, the window to act is narrow: from November 5 to 26, 2026. The General Directorate of Personnel of Aragón has published in the BOE of November 4, 2026 the call for national-scope transfer contests, with the complete call available in the Official Bulletin of Aragón (BOA) of November 3, 2026.
The process affects seven different bodies and is processed exclusively through the PADDOC digital platform. There is no in-person or paper option.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution convenes the national-scope transfer contest for the 2026 academic year, allowing career teaching civil servants to apply for vacant positions in educational centers dependent on the Department of Education, Science and Universities of Aragón. Mobility is national in scope: any civil servant of the corresponding body can participate regardless of the autonomous community in which they currently serve.
The bodies included in the call are as follows:
| Teaching body |
|---|
| Teachers |
| Secondary Education Teachers |
| Official Language School Teachers |
| Music and Performing Arts Teachers |
| Plastic Arts and Design Teachers |
| Vocational Training Teachers |
| Education Inspectors |
Applications must be submitted exclusively through the digital platform PADDOC (paddoc.aragon.es). No other processing method will be accepted. The complete call, with details of positions, scoring criteria and conditions, is published in the Official Bulletin of Aragón of November 3, 2026.
Economic and operational impact
For the teaching civil servant, a transfer involves a change of destination with direct effects on supplementary remuneration linked to the position (specific supplement, destination supplement), moving costs and family adaptation. Aragón, as the destination autonomous community, may offer different remuneration and work-life balance conditions than the community of origin.
From an operational perspective, the critical aspects are:
- Non-extendable deadline: November 26, 2026 is the final date. No extensions are provided for in the resolution.
- 100% digital processing: it is essential to have operational access to PADDOC before starting the application. Last-minute technical issues could exclude you from the process.
- BOA consultation: the vacant positions, merit scoring and specific conditions are in the Official Bulletin of Aragón of November 3, 2026, not in the BOE. Those who do not consult the BOA will not know the actual conditions of the contest.
- National scope: civil servants from across Spain compete, which may increase competition in specialties with high demand.
Who does it affect?
- Career civil servants of the Teachers body assigned in any autonomous community.
- Career civil servants of the Secondary Education Teachers body from any community.
- Career civil servants of the Official Language School Teachers body.
- Career civil servants of the Music and Performing Arts Teachers body.
- Career civil servants of the Plastic Arts and Design Teachers body.
- Career civil servants of the Vocational Training Teachers body.
- Career civil servants of the Education Inspectors body.
- HR and personnel management teams of the education departments of all autonomous communities, who must inform their civil servants of the process.
It does not affect temporary staff, contract workers or civil servants on voluntary leave without position reservation, unless the complete call in the BOA establishes specific conditions for particular administrative situations.
Practical example
A Vocational Training Teacher currently assigned to an institute in Catalonia wants to transfer to Zaragoza for family reasons. This contest is his official route to do so.
His specific roadmap is as follows:
- Consult the BOA of November 3, 2026 to identify vacant VT positions in Aragón and verify the applicable merit scoring for his body.
- Access PADDOC (paddoc.aragon.es) and verify that his credentials work correctly before November 5.
- Prepare the required merit documentation according to the scoring published in the BOA.
- Submit the application through PADDOC between November 5 and 26, 2026.
If he does not submit the application before November 26, he will have to wait for the next national-scope transfer call for Aragón, with no possibility of later correction.
What should teachers do now?
- Consult the BOA of November 3, 2026: download the complete call to learn about vacant positions, merit scoring and specific conditions for your body.
- Verify PADDOC access: log into paddoc.aragon.es before November 5 and verify that you can authenticate without issues. Do not leave the technical verification for the last day.
- Gather merit documentation: identify which merits are scorable according to the BOA scoring and prepare the necessary supporting documents.
- Submit the application between November 5 and 26, 2026: do so with sufficient margin before closing to be able to correct any technical issues.
- Keep the submission receipt: PADDOC should generate an acknowledgment of receipt. Save it as proof of timely submission.
