The new career civil servants of the General Administrative Body of the State Administration, Traffic specialty, are appointed through the Resolution of October 26, 2026 from the State Secretariat for Civil Service, published in the BOE on October 29, 2026. The appointment formalizes the result of the selection process by open access called in December 2025 and has immediate effects from the publication date.
The assigned positions are Examiner in Provincial Traffic Offices distributed throughout Spain. The resolution also specifies the situation of civil servants from internal promotion: these had already been appointed previously and, with this resolution, only acquire the Traffic specialty.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution formalizes four differentiated legal effects:
- Appointment as career civil servants of applicants who passed the selection process by open access called in December 2025, with assignment as Examiner in Provincial Traffic Offices throughout Spain.
- Acquisition of Traffic specialty by internal promotion civil servants already appointed previously, without a new appointment being made for them.
- Declaration of forfeiture of rights for three applicants: two who expressly resigned and one who did not pass the selective course.
- Setting of the deadline for taking office at 15 calendar days from publication, extendable to one month if the assignment involves a change of residence location.
The remuneration conditions of the position are set as follows:
| Remuneration concept | Amount / Value |
|---|---|
| Specific allowance | €11,412.94 |
| Destination allowance level | 18 |
| Position | Examiner |
| Assignment | Provincial Traffic Offices (throughout Spain) |
From a procedural perspective, the resolution exhausts the administrative remedy. Those affected who wish to challenge it have two options: file an optional reconsideration request with the State Secretariat for Civil Service, or appeal directly to the National Court.
Economic and operational impact
For the newly appointed civil servants, the immediate economic impact is the consolidation of a fixed complementary remuneration of €11,412.94 annually as a specific allowance, plus the basic remuneration corresponding to the General Administrative Body (base salary, seniority bonuses and extraordinary payments according to the classification group).
Level 18 of destination allowance is the standard level for positions of this body and specialty, which determines both the complementary remuneration and the future mobility of the civil servant within the position provision system.
From an operational perspective, the Provincial Traffic Offices incorporate new personnel to cover examiner functions, which strengthens the operational capacity of the service throughout the national territory. For the three applicants who forfeit their rights, there is no possibility of incorporation into the position or of claiming through this channel once the resolution becomes final.
Who does it affect?
- Applicants approved by open access in the selection process called in December 2025 for the General Administrative Body, Traffic specialty: are appointed career civil servants and must take office within the established deadline.
- Internal promotion civil servants of the General Administrative Body already appointed previously: acquire the Traffic specialty with this resolution.
- Three applicants who forfeit their rights: two by express resignation and one for not passing the selective course. They cannot join the body through this call.
- Provincial Traffic Offices throughout Spain: receive new personnel with the Examiner profile.
- State Secretariat for Civil Service: the body that manages and formalizes the appointment and before which a reconsideration request can be filed.
Practical example
An applicant who passed all phases of the selection process called in December 2025 —tests, selective course and practical phase— receives their appointment as a career civil servant on October 29, 2026. Their assignment is a Provincial Traffic Office in a city different from their current place of residence.
In this case, the deadline for taking office is extended from the standard 15 calendar days to one calendar month, given that it involves a change of residence location. If they do not present themselves to take office within that deadline without justified cause, they could lose the right to the appointment. Their fixed complementary remuneration from day one will be €11,412.94 annually as a specific allowance, with a destination allowance level of 18.
On the other hand, an applicant who expressly resigned before the resolution is declared to have forfeited their rights and cannot claim a position through this call. If they wish to challenge this declaration, they have the option of filing a reconsideration request with the State Secretariat for Civil Service or an administrative law appeal with the National Court.
What should those affected do now?
- Verify if you are on the list of appointees: Check the resolution published in the BOE on October 29, 2026 (reference BOE-A-2026-22629) to confirm your inclusion as an appointed career civil servant.
- Calculate your deadline for taking office: If your assignment is in your same residence location, you have 15 calendar days from October 29, 2026. If it involves a change of location, the deadline is extended to one calendar month.
- Manage the change of assignment if applicable: If the assigned position involves relocation, start the necessary administrative and logistical procedures as soon as possible to ensure taking office within the deadline.
- Internal promotion civil servants: Verify that the acquisition of the Traffic specialty is correctly reflected in your personal file and in the personnel register of your unit.
- Applicants declared to have forfeited rights: If you believe the forfeiture is improper, consider filing an optional reconsideration request with the State Secretariat for Civil Service or an administrative law appeal with the National Court. Consult the applicable legal deadlines with a professional.
