National Police Inspector Exam 2026: Exclusion Reasons and Deadline to Remedy

Key data

If you appear on the list of excluded candidates for the National Police Inspector exam 2026, the clock is already running. The Resolution of August 6, 2026 from the General Directorate of Police, published in the BOE on August 13, 2026, starts the remedy period: 10 business days to correct the defect that caused your exclusion or file a claim.

The call was originally published on July 7, 2026 and covers positions for students at the National Police School (Training and Development Division), with access to the Executive Scale in the Inspector category.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution publishes the provisional list of admitted and excluded persons in the selection process. Each exclusion is associated with a cause code. The exclusion reasons included in the resolution are as follows:

According to the official summary, the most frequent reasons among excluded candidates are A (lack of digital signature on the application) and F (non-payment of exam fee online). Reasons I, J, K and L affect specific groups that requested bonuses or special conditions.

Complete lists of admitted candidates are available on the official websites of the National Police and the Ministry of Interior.

Economic and operational impact

For affected candidates, the impact is not economic in a business sense, but rather one of direct employment opportunity: being excluded without remedying means losing the chance to access an Inspector position in the National Police Corps in this call.

From an operational perspective, there are two critical elements to manage:

• Non-extendable deadline: 10 business days from August 13, 2026. August has non-working days (national holidays), so it is advisable to calculate the actual deadline with precision.
• Single remedy channel: the procedure is carried out exclusively through the candidate portal at policia.es. Remedies through other channels are not accepted.
• Specific documentation by code: each exclusion reason requires a different action. Remedying lack of digital signature (reason A) is not the same as proving status as victim of terrorism (reason L).

Who does it affect?

• Candidates who submitted applications for the free competitive exam for Inspector of the CNP in the call of July 7, 2026 and appear on the list of excluded candidates.
• Candidates who requested fee exemption or reduction due to job seeker status (SEPE), large family or victim of terrorism status, and did not provide supporting documentation.
• Candidates who completed the application but did not digitally sign the form (reason A, the most frequent).
• Candidates who did not complete the online payment of the exam fee (reason F, second most frequent).

Candidates who appear on the list of admitted candidates do not need to take any action at this time.

Practical example

Imagine you submitted your application for the Inspector exam last July, but when reviewing the provisional list published on August 13, you discover that you appear as excluded with code A (lack of digital signature on the application).

The process to follow would be:

1. Access the candidate portal at policia.es with your credentials.
2. Locate your file and verify the assigned exclusion code (in this case, A).
3. Complete the digital signature of the application through the portal itself.
4. Submit the remedy within 10 business days from August 13, 2026.

If instead your exclusion code is K (lack of large family certificate), you must provide the corresponding supporting document through the same portal within the same deadline. Each code requires different documentation: do not confuse the procedures.

What should candidates do now?

1. Check the provisional list today on the candidate portal at policia.es or on the Ministry of Interior website. Identify whether you appear as admitted or excluded.
2. Identify the exclusion code if you are on the excluded list. Each code (A, F, I, J, K, L) corresponds to a specific reason and requires a different action.
3. Calculate the actual remedy deadline: 10 business days from August 13, 2026. Take into account national and regional holidays in August to avoid missing the deadline.
4. Prepare the necessary documentation according to your exclusion code before accessing the portal: operative digital signature, proof of exam fee payment, SEPE certificate, sworn income declaration, large family certificate or proof of victim of terrorism status, as applicable.
5. Submit the remedy or claim exclusively through the candidate portal at policia.es. No other channels are accepted. Keep the submission receipt.
6. If you disagree with your exclusion and believe you meet the requirements, you can file a reasoned claim within the same deadline and through the same channel.
