Court Processing Positions Canary Islands 2026: destinations, deadlines and what to do if you passed

Key data

Those who passed the extraordinary selective process for the Court Processing and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice in the Canary Islands now have published the available positions to choose their destination. The General Directorate of Relations with the Administration of Justice of the Canary Islands has published, through Resolution of May 21, 2026, the list of vacant positions offered in the scope of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands.

The original call is Order JUS/1327/2022, of December 28, which established the extraordinary selective process through the competitive examination system, free competition. Now comes the decisive moment for those who passed: choosing where they will work, with consequences that will last at least two years.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution publishes the vacant positions available in the Canary Islands territory for those who passed the extraordinary process called by Order JUS/1327/2022. The positions are located in two provinces and in different types of judicial bodies:

The rules of the destination assignment process are as follows:

• The destination request must be made online within a period of 10 business days from the publication of the final list of those who passed in the BOE.
• Each applicant must request at least as many positions as their order number on the final list of those who passed.
• Assigned destinations have definitive character.
• Officials will not be able to apply for another position until two years have elapsed from taking office in the assigned destination.
• Those who do not request a position or do not obtain any of the requested ones will be forcibly assigned in alphabetical order by locality.

Economic and operational impact

For those who passed, choosing a destination has a direct and lasting impact on their employment and economic situation:

• Two years of guaranteed (and mandatory) stability: The assigned destination is definitive and cannot be changed for at least two years. This affects decisions about housing, family reconciliation, and travel expenses.
• Risk of forced assignment: Failing to request within the deadline or not obtaining any of the requested positions means being assigned in alphabetical order by locality, without possibility of choice. This scenario may result in an undesired destination with relocation and adaptation costs.
• Opportunity cost of requesting few positions: The rule of minimum positions to request (equal to order number) is designed to ensure that all those who passed have real options to obtain a destination. Requesting exactly the minimum reduces chances if the first options are already assigned.
• Positions concentrated in two capitals: All offers are centered in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which limits geographic dispersion but also concentrates competition.

Who does it affect?

• People who have passed the extraordinary selective process for the Court Processing and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice called by Order JUS/1327/2022, in the territorial scope of the Canary Islands.
• Applicants with pending destination assignment who appear on the final list of those who passed published in the BOE.
• Officials aspiring to positions in the Common Processing Services, Enforcement Services or Civil Registries of Santa Cruz de Tenerife or Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

This regulation does not affect private companies, self-employed workers, or applicants from other autonomous communities or other bodies of the Administration of Justice.

Practical example

Imagine you are number 15 on the final list of those who passed in the extraordinary selective process for the Canary Islands. According to the rules of this resolution:

• You must request at least 15 positions in your online request (as many as your order number).
• You have 10 business days from when the final list is published in the BOE to submit that request.
• If you only request 5 positions (below your order number) or do not submit the request, you will be forcibly assigned to the locality that corresponds in alphabetical order, without the possibility of choosing between Santa Cruz de Tenerife or Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
• Once the destination is assigned, you will not be able to request a transfer or apply for another position for two years, regardless of whether more convenient vacancies arise for you.

This example illustrates the importance of acting quickly and requesting the minimum number of positions required to avoid forced assignment.

What should those who passed do now?

1. Check the final list of those who passed in the BOE: Locate your order number on the final list published in the BOE. That number determines the minimum number of positions you must request.
2. Calculate your exact deadline: Count 10 business days from the date the final list is published in the BOE. Do not confuse business days with calendar days: Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays do not count.
3. Prepare your online request: The request must be made online. Make sure you have access to the system enabled by the General Directorate of Relations with the Administration of Justice of the Canary Islands before the deadline expires.
4. Request at least as many positions as your order number: If you are number 20, request a minimum of 20 positions. Requesting more increases your chances of obtaining one of your preferences.
5. Order your preferences with criteria: Consider the location (Santa Cruz de Tenerife or Las Palmas de Gran Canaria), the type of body (Processing, Enforcement or Civil Registry) and the impact on your personal life before ordering the positions.
6. Keep the request receipt: Keep the online acknowledgment of receipt as proof that you submitted the request within the deadline.
7. Keep in mind the two-year commitment: The assigned destination is definitive and you will not be able to apply for another position for two years. Make the decision with a medium-term perspective.
