New positions for Procedural Management officials in Valencia 2026: deadlines and key points

Key data

The successful candidates in the Procedural and Administrative Management Body of the Administration of Justice in the Comunitat Valenciana now have their first position assigned. The Resolution of May 25, 2026, from the General Directorate of Justice and Self-Government, published in the BOE on June 8, 2026, awards positions in judicial offices in Alicante and Castellón to those who passed the open competition selective process called by Order JUS/1288/2022, of December 22.

The clock starts from the same day of publication: the deadline for formalizing the taking of office is 20 business days and the process is entirely electronic.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution regulates the assignment of positions to new career officials of the Procedural and Administrative Management Body of the Administration of Justice in the territorial scope of the Comunitat Valenciana. The positions are located in judicial offices in Alicante and Castellón, within the framework of the selective process for entry by open competition called by Order JUS/1288/2022.

The key points established by the regulation are:

• Assignment of positions: Positions are awarded in judicial offices in Alicante and Castellón to those who passed the open competition selective process (Order JUS/1288/2022).
• Deadline for taking office: 20 business days counted from June 8, 2026, the date of publication of the resolution.
• Electronic taking of office: It is formalized through digital signature of the documents sent to the official's citizen folder. There is no mandatory in-person travel required for this procedure.
• Automatic termination of interim staff: Interim officials occupying the awarded positions are automatically terminated on June 8, 2026, without the need for an additional resolution.
• Option for officials of lower bodies: Those who already belong to the Procedural and Administrative Processing bodies or Judicial Assistance can choose to continue active in those bodies, moving to voluntary leave status in the new Procedural Management Body.
• Mobility restriction: New officials will not be able to participate in transfer contests for the two years following the date of the resolution.

Economic and operational impact

For the officials themselves, the assignment of a position means the start of accrual of remuneration corresponding to the Procedural and Administrative Management Body, a subgroup A2 body with higher remuneration level than the Processing (C1) and Judicial Assistance (C2) bodies. This salary increase is immediate from taking office.

For the receiving judicial offices in Alicante and Castellón, the incorporation of career officials in place of interim staff means:

• Greater stability in staffing and continuity in ongoing judicial proceedings.
• Immediate termination of interim contracts, with consequent savings in temporary replacement costs.
• Need for internal reorganization to integrate new staff into work teams.

For officials who already belong to lower bodies (Processing or Judicial Assistance) and have passed the competition, the decision to opt for voluntary leave in the new body or to continue active in the previous one has remuneration and career implications that must be evaluated individually before the deadline for taking office expires.

Who does it affect?

• Successful candidates: All those who passed the open competition selective process called by Order JUS/1288/2022 and have received a position in Alicante or Castellón.
• Displaced interim officials: Those who occupied the awarded positions and are automatically terminated on June 8, 2026.
• Successful officials from lower bodies: Those who already belong to Procedural and Administrative Processing or Judicial Assistance and must decide whether to opt for voluntary leave in the new body or continue in the previous one.
• Judicial offices in Alicante and Castellón: Which must manage the incorporation of new officials and the termination of interim staff.
• General Directorate of Justice and Self-Government: Responsible for coordinating the electronic taking of office process and managing the resulting administrative situations.

Practical example

A candidate who passed the selective process called by Order JUS/1288/2022 and previously belonged to the Procedural and Administrative Processing Body (subgroup C1) in a judicial office in Valencia now receives a position in an Alicante office as an official of the Procedural and Administrative Management Body (subgroup A2).

They have 20 business days from June 8, 2026 to formalize taking office through digital signature in their citizen folder. They must decide whether to:

• Option A: Take office in the new body (Procedural Management, A2), with immediate salary improvement, but with the restriction of not being able to participate in transfer contests for two years and with the obligation to relocate to Alicante.
• Option B: Continue active in the Processing Body (C1) in their current position in Valencia, moving to voluntary leave in the new Procedural Management Body. They maintain their current position and salary, but temporarily forgo the category improvement.

This decision must be made before the deadline for taking office expires, as there is no information in the resolution indicating the possibility of an extension.

What should those affected do now?

1. Verify the position assignment: Consult the resolution published in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-12343) to confirm the position and judicial office assigned in Alicante or Castellón.
2. Calculate the deadline for taking office: The 20 business day deadline starts on June 8, 2026. Identify the exact deadline by excluding official holidays in the Comunitat Valenciana.
3. Access the citizen folder: Documents for taking office are sent electronically. Verify that access to the citizen folder with digital certificate or Cl@ve is operational before documents arrive.
4. Decide on administrative status (if applicable): Officials who already belong to Procedural Processing or Judicial Assistance must assess whether to continue active in the lower body (voluntary leave in the new one) or take office in Procedural Management. This decision has remuneration and mobility consequences.
5. Digitally sign the documents: Complete taking office through digital signature within the established deadline. Failure to meet the deadline may have consequences for the position assignment.
6. Keep in mind the transfer restriction: For the two years following the resolution, you will not be able to participate in transfer contests. Plan future mobility accordingly.
