Provisional list of admitted National Police 2026: what to do if you are excluded

Key data

If you submitted an application to the call for professional and technical staff positions of the National Police Corps, launched on January 9, 2026, you must verify your status in the provisional list published on May 5, 2026. The Resolution of April 24, 2026 from the General Directorate of the Police (reference BOE-A-2026-9740) marks the beginning of the claims period: the only moment when an excluded candidate can reverse their situation before the list becomes final.

This procedure is not a mere administrative formality. For any candidate who appears as excluded, acting within the enabled period is the only way to continue competing for the advertised positions.

What does this resolution establish?

The resolution publishes the provisional list of admitted and excluded persons in the selective process for the provision of professional and technical staff positions of the National Police Corps. This process was originally called by Resolution of January 9, 2026.

The content and effects of this publication are as follows:

• Provisionally admitted candidates are identified, who can continue in the process without needing to do anything additional in this phase.
• Provisionally excluded candidates are identified, with an indication of the reason for exclusion.
• An express period is enabled for excluded candidates to remedy the detected defects or file claims against the provisional resolution.
• After resolving the claims received, the General Directorate of the Police will publish the definitive list, which will close this phase of the selective process.

The publication of the provisional list is an essential procedure in any public employment selective process: it guarantees the right of candidates to know their situation and to challenge it before it becomes final.

Operational impact for candidates

For admitted candidates, this resolution generates no immediate action: their situation is provisionally confirmed and they only need to be aware of the publication of the definitive list and the following phases of the process.

For excluded candidates, the impact is direct and urgent:

• The claims period is the only mechanism available to reverse the exclusion. Once that period closes without action, the exclusion is consolidated in the definitive list.
• The most common reasons for exclusion in this type of process are documentary defects, non-compliance with formal requirements, or errors in the application. Many are remediable if action is taken in time.
• Non-participation in this phase means being excluded from the entire selective process, losing the opportunity to access the positions called for in the Resolution of January 9, 2026.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates who submitted applications to the selective process for professional and technical staff of the National Police Corps called on January 9, 2026.
• Candidates who appear as excluded in the provisional list and wish to remedy their situation or file a claim.
• Candidates who appear as admitted and must verify that their data is correct before the publication of the definitive list.
• Advisors, exam preparation instructors, and human resources managers who accompany candidates in the process.

Practical example

A candidate for a technical staff position of the National Police Corps submits their application within the deadline of the January 2026 call. When checking the provisional list published on May 5, 2026, they find that they are excluded due to a formal defect in the documentation provided.

Thanks to the publication of this provisional list, they have the period enabled by the resolution to remedy that defect by providing the correct documentation or filing a claim that justifies their admission. If they act within the period, the General Directorate of the Police will review their case when resolving the claims and, if appropriate, will include them in the definitive list of admitted candidates.

If that same candidate does not check the provisional list or does not act within the established period, their exclusion will become final and they will not be able to participate in the following phases of the selective process, regardless of whether the reason for exclusion was remediable.

What should candidates do now?

1. Check the provisional list in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-9740) to verify whether you appear as admitted or excluded in the selective process called on January 9, 2026.
2. If you appear as excluded, identify the reason for exclusion indicated in the resolution. Determine if it is remediable (documentary defect, formal error) or if it requires a reasoned claim.
3. Act within the enabled period: submit the remedy or corresponding claim before the period established in the resolution closes. Do not wait until the last day.
4. If you appear as admitted, verify that your data is correct. If you detect any error in your identification or status, you can also communicate it during the claims period.
5. Be alert to the publication of the definitive list, which will occur once all claims submitted have been resolved. That list will mark the beginning of the following phases of the process.
