National Police Inspector Competitive Exams 2026: final list of admitted and excluded candidates

Key data

If you submitted an application for the open competitive exam for Inspector of the National Police called on July 7, 2026, this resolution determines whether you can continue the process or are excluded. The General Directorate of the Police approves on October 1, 2026 the final list, published in the BOE on October 10, 2026.

The document is final: it is no longer the provisional list. This means that objections have already been resolved and each candidate's situation is firm, unless a legal appeal is filed within the statutory deadlines.

What does this resolution establish?

The resolution approves two differentiated lists:

• Admitted: Can check the assigned examination center through the candidate portal. Taking the exam at a location different from the assigned one automatically voids their action.
• Excluded (Annex I): Appear with their DNI partially anonymized and the alphanumeric code that identifies the exclusion reason.

The exclusion reasons included in the resolution are as follows:

The two most frequent reasons are A (lack of digital signature) and F (non-payment of fee), indicating that electronic processing errors are the main reason for exclusion in this call.

Exclusion reasons: complete detail

Understanding each reason allows you to assess whether there is grounds for appeal:

• Code A — Lack of digital signature: The application was submitted without a valid electronic signature. It is a formal defect that, in principle, cannot be corrected once the application deadline has closed. However, if the candidate can prove that the signature was performed correctly and there was a technical system error, it may be grounds for appeal.
• Code F — Non-payment of fee: The electronic payment of the exam fee was not completed within the deadline. This is a non-correctable admission requirement unless a banking or technical error attributable to the system is proven.
• Failure to prove SEPE registration: Required for fee exemption or reduction. If the proof was not provided within the deadline, exclusion is firm unless appealed.
• Failure to submit sworn income statement: Required to prove certain economic conditions linked to the reduced fee.
• Failure to prove status as victim of terrorism: Necessary for those who requested fee exemption for this reason.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates who submitted applications for the open competitive exam for Inspector of the Executive Scale of the National Police in the July 2026 call.
• Admitted candidates: must verify their examination center in the candidate portal before the test date.
• Excluded candidates: have the deadline open to file a reconsideration appeal or administrative litigation appeal.
• Advisors and exam preparation instructors who accompany candidates in this process.

Practical example

A candidate who submitted their application electronically but did not complete the digital signature process (for example, closed the browser window before validating the signature with an electronic certificate or Cl@ve) will appear in Annex I with code A.

When consulting the list, they will see their DNI partially anonymized and code A next to it. From the publication of the resolution on October 10, 2026, they have:

• 1 month to file a reconsideration appeal with the General Directorate of the Police.
• 2 months to file an administrative litigation appeal with the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid.

If they can provide evidence that the signature was performed correctly (screenshot of the process, confirmation email, platform record), they have grounds to appeal. If the error was the candidate's own, the chances of success are limited, but the appeal is the only available remedy.

What should you do now?

1. Check Annex I of the BOE (publication of October 10, 2026) to verify if your DNI appears among the excluded and with what exclusion reason code.
2. If you are admitted, access the candidate portal to confirm your assigned examination center. Remember: taking the exam at a location different from the assigned one voids your action.
3. If you are excluded, analyze the reason (code A, F or other) and assess whether there is documentary basis to appeal.
4. File the appeal within the deadline: reconsideration appeal within 1 month from October 10, 2026, or administrative litigation appeal within 2 months before the TSJ of Madrid.
5. Gather supporting documentation before filing the appeal: payment receipts, screenshots of the signature process, system confirmations, etc.
