Candidates approved in the extraordinary selective process called by Order JUS/1327/2022, of December 28, already know the available positions in the scope of the Foral Community of Navarra. Resolution 290/2026, of May 21, from the General Directorate of Justice of the Department of Interior, Public Function and Justice of Navarra, published in the BOE on June 5, 2026, details the offered destinations and the procedure to request them.
The deadline to act is short and the consequences of not doing so are significant: forced assignment in alphabetical order can result in ending up in an undesired destination, and the destination obtained will have a definitive character for two years, with no possibility of participating in transfer competitions until that period has elapsed.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution publishes the list of vacant positions in the territorial scope of Navarra that are offered to those approved in the extraordinary selective process of access, by competitive examination in free competition, to the Body of Procedural and Administrative Processing of the Administration of Justice.
The offered destinations are located mainly in Pamplona, in the following services:
- Common Civil Processing Services
- Common Criminal Processing Services
- Common Social Processing Services
- Civil Registry
The assignment procedure works as follows:
| Phase | Detail |
|---|---|
| Request deadline | 10 business days from the publication of the definitive list of approved candidates in the BOE |
| Assignment criterion | Order of score obtained in the selective process |
| Forced assignment | In alphabetical order of localities, for those who do not request a position or do not obtain any of those requested |
| Character of destination | Definitive |
| Mobility restriction | Cannot participate in transfer competition until two years have elapsed since assignment |
Economic and operational impact
For approved candidates, this resolution has a direct and immediate impact on their professional career and personal life:
- Definitive destination for two years: the workplace will be fixed for at least 24 months, which implies planning residence, travel and family reconciliation.
- No margin for later correction: once the destination is assigned, there is no possibility of requesting a transfer until two years have been completed. Choosing well—or not choosing—has lasting consequences.
- Risk of forced assignment: those who do not submit a request within the 10 business day deadline or do not obtain any of the requested positions will be forcibly assigned following the alphabetical order of localities, with no possibility of choice.
- Geographic concentration in Pamplona: all offered positions are located in the Navarrese capital, which simplifies the geographic decision but requires confirming availability and service preference (civil, criminal, social or Civil Registry).
Who does it affect?
- Candidates who have passed the extraordinary selective process called by Order JUS/1327/2022, of December 28, in free competition and by the competitive examination system.
- Approved candidates who have indicated or are considering Navarra as a preferred destination.
- Approved candidates who, by their position on the list, may be eligible for the positions offered in the Foral Community of Navarra.
It does not affect active officials of the Body of Procedural and Administrative Processing who do not participate in this specific selective process, nor other opposition calls from the Administration of Justice.
Practical example
Suppose a candidate approved in the JUS/1327/2022 process holds a medium-high position on the definitive list of approved candidates published in the BOE. When that list is published, the 10 business day deadline begins to run.
If this candidate wishes to work in Navarra, they must submit their destination request within that deadline, indicating their preference among the available services in Pamplona: Civil Processing, Criminal Processing, Social Processing or Civil Registry. Assignment will be made in order of score, so those who have obtained higher marks will have priority to choose their preferred service.
If this candidate does not submit a request within the established deadline, they will be forcibly assigned to one of the available positions following the alphabetical order of localities, with no possibility of choosing a service. Once the destination is assigned—whether by their own choice or forcibly—they will not be able to request a transfer for the following two years.
What should candidates do now?
- Locate the publication date of the definitive list of approved candidates in the BOE: the 10 business day deadline to request a destination starts counting from that moment, not from the publication of this resolution.
- Decide whether to request a destination in Navarra: assess the location (Pamplona), available services (civil, criminal, social, Civil Registry) and the implications of residing in the Foral Community for at least two years.
- Submit the destination request on time: not submitting it is equivalent to accepting a forced assignment in alphabetical order, with no possibility of choice.
- Correctly prioritize the requested positions: since assignment follows the order of scores, it is advisable to indicate all possible preferences to maximize the options of obtaining a chosen destination.
- Plan the incorporation: the assigned destination has a definitive character and does not allow transfer until two years have elapsed, so it is advisable to anticipate decisions regarding residence and personal logistics.
