If you are a candidate for security guard, explosives specialist or private escort in call 02/2026, the Resolution of May 26, 2026 from the State Secretariat for Security publishes the final lists of admitted and excluded candidates. The time to act is immediate: the tests begin on June 19, 2026.
This resolution, published in the BOE on June 8, 2026, closes the admission process and establishes the final conditions for taking the exams. Any excluded candidate who does not appeal within the deadline loses their opportunity to participate in this call.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution publishes the final lists of admitted and excluded candidates for three professional profiles in the private security sector:
- Security guard
- Security guard with explosives specialty
- Private escort
The most frequent causes of exclusion identified in the resolution are two:
| Code | Cause of exclusion |
|---|---|
| A | Lack of digital signature on the application form |
| B | Non-payment of exam fee online |
The selection tests are structured in two exercises:
| Exercise | Content | Date |
|---|---|---|
| First | Physical fitness | June 19, 2026 |
| Second | Theoretical-practical knowledge | June 20, 2026 |
Candidates must mandatorily appear at the venue assigned to them. Attending a different venue is equivalent to automatic exclusion from the selection process.
The nine venues enabled for call 02/2026 are:
- Madrid
- Balearic Islands
- Cádiz
- Granada
- Santa Cruz de Tenerife
- Santiago de Compostela
- Tarragona
- Valencia
- Zaragoza
Economic and operational impact
For private security companies, this call has a direct impact on their hiring capacity. Qualification as a security guard or private escort is a legal requirement to practice, so the results of these tests determine the availability of qualified personnel in the market.
For excluded candidates, the operational cost is twofold: the loss of the exam fee paid (in case of non-payment, exclusion by code B means the fee was not processed correctly) and the delay in obtaining the qualification until the next call.
Candidates who appear as excluded have two appeal options with different deadlines:
| Type of appeal | Deadline | Competent body |
|---|---|---|
| Appeal for reconsideration | 1 month from publication | State Secretariat for Security |
| Administrative litigation appeal | 2 months from publication | National Court |
Who does it affect?
- Admitted candidates to call 02/2026: must confirm their assigned venue and prepare for the exams on June 19 and 20.
- Excluded candidates: have a deadline to appeal (1 month for reconsideration, 2 months for administrative litigation).
- Private security companies: the number of candidates who pass this call affects their capacity to incorporate qualified personnel in the short term.
- Advisors and management firms that processed applications on behalf of candidates: must verify the result of each case and act if there are appealable exclusions.
Practical example
A candidate for private escort who submitted their application online but did not complete the digital signature process is excluded by code A (lack of digital signature on the application form). Upon checking the list published on June 8, they confirm they appear as excluded.
They have two options:
- File an appeal for reconsideration with the State Secretariat for Security within 1 month from June 8, 2026 (before July 8, 2026), providing documentation proving that the signature was completed correctly.
- If the appeal for reconsideration is rejected or they do not file it, they can go to the National Court through an administrative litigation appeal within 2 months from publication.
If they do not appeal within either of these deadlines, they are permanently excluded from call 02/2026 and must wait for the next call to obtain the qualification.
What should candidates do now?
- Check the admitted and excluded list published in the BOE on June 8, 2026 to verify the status of your application.
- If you appear as excluded by code A (lack of digital signature): review your case file and consider filing an appeal for reconsideration before July 8, 2026.
- If you appear as excluded by code B (non-payment of fee): verify whether the online payment was processed correctly and, if you have proof, file an appeal for reconsideration within the same deadline.
- If you appear as admitted: confirm your assigned venue and prepare to appear on June 19 (physical fitness) and June 20 (theoretical-practical knowledge) at the correct venue. Do not attend a different venue under any circumstances.
- Private security companies: monitor the results of the call to plan the incorporation of qualified personnel in the second half of 2026.
