Overview
Correos is Spain's state postal operator. It hires permanent staff (personal laboral fijo) through selection calls, mainly for delivery, sorting and customer service in post offices. Correos' own site opened during this review, but it carries no exam details, only a portal for public calls. The exam facts below therefore rest on one preparation-academy page published on 8 June 2026. It is a thin page and must be confirmed against the official bases of the call.
Who can apply

Compulsory secondary school certificate (ESO), Graduado Escolar or equivalent.
No disciplinary dismissal from Correos and no disqualification from public functions.
A class B or A1 driving licence for motorbike delivery posts.
People who already hold a permanent contract with Correos cannot apply.
