The new officials of the Judicial Assistance Corps of the Administration of Justice in the Canary Islands now have their official assignments. The Resolution of July 8, 2026 from the General Directorate of Relations with the Administration of Justice publishes the final assignments of those who passed the selection process called by the Order JUS/1288/2022, of December 22, through the general free access system.

What does this regulation establish?

| Regulated aspect | Specific detail |

| Deadline for taking office | 20 business days counted from September 1, 2026 |

Economic and operational impact
Although this resolution does not generate direct costs for private companies, it has relevant operational consequences for several actors:
- For new officials: Taking office in the assigned position is a legal act that activates the rights and obligations of the position. Failure to report within the 20 business day deadline may result in loss of the assigned position.
- For interim officials: Cessation is automatic and immediate on the day the permanent official takes office. There is no additional notice: the date the permanent official takes office is the date the interim official ceases.
- For officials of Procedural Processing or Procedural Management: They must assess whether it is more advantageous to continue in their original corps (with voluntary leave in Judicial Assistance) or to take up the new assignment. This decision has implications for seniority, allowances, and promotion opportunities.
- For receiving judicial offices: The incorporation of permanent officials implies reorganization of staffing and cessation of interim officials, with the resulting operational adjustment.
- Transfer restriction for 2 years: Newly assigned officials remain bound to their assigned position during this period, which limits their geographical mobility until approximately July 2028.
Who does it affect?
- Approved candidates of the Judicial Assistance Corps in the Canary Islands in the call of Order JUS/1288/2022 (free access).
- Interim officials who currently occupy any of the positions assigned in this resolution.
- Officials of the Procedural Processing and Procedural Management Corps who have also passed the selection process for Judicial Assistance and must choose between corps.
- Judicial offices in the Canary Islands that receive new permanent officials and must manage the cessation of interim officials and the incorporation of career officials.
Practical example
A candidate who passed the JUS/1288/2022 call receives their assignment to a judicial office in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The deadline for taking office begins on September 1, 2026. Counting 20 business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays), they must report to that judicial office approximately before September 29, 2026 (indicative date according to the working calendar of the Canary Islands).
If there is an interim official in that position, they will automatically cease on the same day the permanent official signs their taking of office, without any additional procedure required by the interim official.
Furthermore, that new official cannot request a transfer to another position until 2 years have elapsed since the publication of this resolution, that is, not before July 2028.
If that same candidate previously belonged to the Procedural Processing Corps, they have the option of not taking up the Judicial Assistance assignment and continuing in active service in Procedural Processing, moving to voluntary leave status in the new corps.
What should those affected do now?
- Locate your assignment in the resolution: Check the resolution published in the BOE to identify the judicial office assigned to you in the Canary Islands.
- Calculate your deadline for taking office: Count 20 business days from September 1, 2026, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and regional and local holidays in your assigned location. Do not leave this calculation for the last moment.
- Decide whether to exercise the option to remain in your original corps (only if you belong to Procedural Processing or Procedural Management): Assess the implications for allowances, seniority, and career before deciding. This option must be communicated within the established deadline.
- Prepare the documentation for taking office: Contact the assigned judicial office to learn about the documentary requirements and incorporation procedure.
- If you are an interim official in an assigned position: Prepare for automatic cessation on the date the permanent official takes office. Review your administrative status and possible positions available in other competitions.
- Keep in mind the transfer restriction: For the 2 years following this resolution, you cannot participate in transfer competitions. Plan your work and personal situation taking into account this mobility limitation.
Frequently asked questions

The deadline is 20 business days counted from September 1, 2026. Business days exclude Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The indicative deadline is approximately September 29, 2026, although it is advisable to calculate it with the official calendar of the Canary Islands to avoid errors.
What if I am an official of Procedural Processing or Procedural Management and have also passed Judicial Assistance?
You can choose to continue in active service in your original corps (Procedural Processing or Procedural Management). In that case, you will move to voluntary leave status in the Judicial Assistance Corps. This decision has implications for allowances and career, so it is advisable to assess it in detail before communicating it.

Cessation is automatic and immediate: it occurs on the same day the permanent official takes office in the position. There is no additional notice or specific procedure by the interim official; the date the permanent official takes office acts as the cessation date.
Can I request a transfer to another position after receiving my assignment?
Not during the first 2 years from the publication of this resolution (July 21, 2026). Until approximately July 2028, newly assigned officials cannot participate in transfer competitions. After that period, they may compete normally.
What happens to positions that have not been assigned?
Unassigned positions remain vacant. They may be offered in future ordinary competitions, but will not be filled immediately through this resolution.
