Career officials of the General State Administration who want to change their assignment have a concrete window of opportunity: 15 business days from June 15, 2026 to submit their candidacy in the general merit competition convened by the Resolution of June 4, 2026 from the Under-Secretariat. The competition covers budgeted vacancies in the AGE and applies the general merit competition system for provision, the ordinary mechanism for voluntary mobility in state public service.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution convenes a general merit competition for the provision of vacant and budgeted job positions in the General State Administration. Below are the key elements of the procedure:
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type of competition | General merit competition |
| Positions announced | Budgeted vacancies in the AGE |
| Who can participate | Career officials in any administrative situation, except firm suspension |
| Permanence requirement | Minimum 2 years in the current definitive assignment position |
| Exceptions to permanence requirement | Limited exceptions provided in the call |
| Application deadline | 15 business days from June 15, 2026 |
| Submission method | Electronic, through the Funciona Portal with electronic certificate |
| Gender equality | Incorporates measures in accordance with the AGE's IV Equality Plan |
| Persons with disabilities | Possibility to request adaptations |
The 2-year permanence requirement is calculated based on the current definitive assignment position. Officials who are in administrative situations other than active service (leave of absence, special services, etc.) may also participate, provided they meet the requirements at the close of the deadline and are not in a situation of firm suspension.
Economic and operational impact
For officials, the most direct impact is the opportunity to access positions with higher salary levels or better geographic location, which can result in significant salary improvement depending on the level of the position applied for. From the perspective of AGE organizations, filling budgeted vacancies through general competition reduces dependence on service commissions and provisional appointments, which generate greater legal uncertainty and management costs.
Human resources units in the various ministries and organizations will need to manage incoming and outgoing applications from their officials, update personnel records, and coordinate with the Funciona Portal for electronic processing. The 15 business day deadline is tight, so prior preparation of documentation and electronic certificate is critical.
Who does it affect?
- Career officials of the AGE in active service status who have been in their current definitive assignment position for at least 2 years.
- Career officials in other administrative situations (voluntary leave of absence, special services, etc.), provided they are not in firm suspension and meet the requirements at the close of the deadline.
- Officials with disabilities who need adaptations to participate in the process.
- Human resources units of ministries and organizations of the AGE, responsible for managing personnel additions and removals resulting from the competition.
- Staffing planning managers in public organizations that have filled vacancies or will lose personnel if their officials compete for other assignments.
Practical example
A career official of the General Administrative Corps assigned to the Government Delegation in Castilla-La Mancha for the past 3 years wants to relocate to Madrid. By meeting the minimum 2-year permanence requirement in their current definitive assignment position, they can submit their application through the Funciona Portal with their electronic certificate within the 15 business day deadline starting June 15, 2026. If there are vacancies in Madrid for their corps and level in the competition, they can apply for them and, if they obtain an assignment, the transfer will be formalized according to the competition resolution.
Conversely, an official who has been in their current definitive assignment position for only 18 months would not be able to participate, unless they fall under one of the limited exceptions provided in the call.
What should officials do now?
- Verify compliance with the permanence requirement: Check that you have been in your current definitive assignment position for at least 2 years before the deadline closes. If you do not meet it, review whether you fall under one of the limited exceptions provided.
- Check your administrative situation: Make sure you are not in a situation of firm suspension, which is the only general cause of exclusion provided in the call.
- Prepare your electronic certificate: Submission is exclusively electronic through the Funciona Portal. If your certificate is expired or not working, resolve it before the deadline begins.
- Identify positions of interest: Check the vacancies announced on the Funciona Portal and order your preferences before submitting your application.
- Request adaptations if applicable: If you have a disability and need adaptations to participate, request them expressly when submitting your candidacy.
- Submit your application within the deadline: The deadline is 15 business days from June 15, 2026. Do not wait until the last moment: electronic systems can become overloaded.
