Change of Employment Status to Civil Servant in the AGE: 58 Excluded and Remedial Period Until October 7, 2026

Key data

Fixed-term labor personnel of the General State Administration (AGE) seeking to change their legal status to civil servants in the Technical Scale of Management of Autonomous Bodies now have the provisional lists published. The Resolution of September 17, 2026 from INAP, published in the BOE on September 23, 2026, approves these lists, announces the location of the sole exercise, and designates the qualifying tribunal.

The process was called through Resolution of December 23, 2025 and is aimed at workers in Group 1G (specialties in Administration, Architecture, Engineering, and Translation) included in Annex II of the IV Single Agreement for labor personnel of the AGE. If your name appears on the list of excluded applicants, the clock is already ticking.

What does this regulation establish?

The INAP resolution regulates three specific aspects of the selective process for changing legal status:

• Provisional lists: The relationships of admitted and excluded applicants are approved. The 58 excluded applicants can consult the reason for their exclusion and remedy it.
• Location of sole exercise: It is set at Calle Atocha 106, Madrid. The specific date of the exercise will be determined in the resolution of final lists, which will be published after the remedial period.
• Qualifying tribunal: The members, both principal and alternate, of the tribunal are designated, with headquarters also at Calle Atocha 106, Madrid.

The most frequent reason for exclusion, identified with the code (I), is failure to prove effective performance of a position in Group 1G of Annex II of the IV Single Agreement. This is the essential requirement of the process: only those who effectively hold one of these positions can participate.

Remediation must be carried out through the IPS system of the General Access Point of the Administration, the official channel enabled for this procedure.

Economic and operational impact

The change of legal status from labor to civil servant has direct and permanent consequences on the working conditions and professional career of the public employee:

• Stability and career: Access to the Technical Scale of Management of Autonomous Bodies implies moving to a statutory regime with greater stability and access to horizontal and vertical career advancement in the civil service.
• Remuneration: The civil service regime has a different remuneration structure from the labor collective agreement, with specific and assignment supplements regulated by civil service regulations.
• Impact for the Administration: The integration of labor personnel into civil service scales involves a reorganization of staffing and a standardization of conditions in the affected autonomous bodies.
• Risk for excluded applicants: The 58 excluded applicants who do not remedy within the deadline are excluded from the process. Given that the call originated in December 2025, losing this opportunity may mean waiting for a new call with no set date.

Who does it affect?

• Fixed-term labor personnel of the AGE included in Group 1G of Annex II of the IV Single Agreement, in the specialties of Administration, Architecture, Engineering, and Translation.
• Admitted applicants to the selective process called on December 23, 2025, who must prepare for the sole exercise.
• The 58 excluded applicants, who have up to 10 business days from September 23, 2026 to remedy their exclusion through the IPS system of the General Access Point.
• Autonomous bodies of the AGE with personnel in these categories, which will need to manage any staffing integrations.
• HR managers of the AGE and its autonomous bodies, who must monitor the process and prepare the necessary administrative adjustments.

Practical example

A technician in the Administration specialty, fixed-term labor personnel of Group 1G of Annex II of the IV Single Agreement, submitted his application for the status change process. When checking the provisional lists published on September 23, 2026, he finds that he appears in the list of excluded applicants with code (I): he has not documented proof of effective performance of his Group 1G position.

This technician has 10 business days from September 23, 2026 to access the IPS system of the General Access Point and provide documentation proving that he effectively holds a position in Group 1G of Annex II of the IV Single Agreement. If he does so within the deadline and correctly, he will move to the final admitted list and will be able to take the sole exercise at Calle Atocha 106, Madrid. If he does not act, he will be permanently excluded from the process.

What should those affected do now?

1. Check the provisional lists: Access the BOE of September 23, 2026 to verify whether your name appears on the list of admitted or excluded applicants.
2. Identify the reason for exclusion: If you are excluded, locate the assigned code. The most frequent reason is code (I): failure to prove effective performance of a position in Group 1G of Annex II of the IV Single Agreement.
3. Remedy within the deadline: You have 10 business days from September 23, 2026 to remedy. Access the IPS system of the General Access Point and provide the required documentation. Do not wait until the last day.
4. Prepare for the sole exercise: If you are admitted, keep in mind that the exercise will be held at Calle Atocha 106, Madrid. The exact date will be published in the resolution of final lists. Stay alert to the BOE.
5. HR managers: Identify which employees in your unit are in the process and support the document management of those who need to remedy. A permanent exclusion due to lack of documentation is avoidable.
