CPNS 2026 Registration Not Yet Open, BKN Issues Official Update and Warning
The National Civil Service Agency (BKN) has confirmed that the official schedule for the 2026 Civil Servant Candidate (CPNS) registration has not yet been announced by the government. The agency reminded the public to be vigilant against false information regarding the opening of CPNS 2026 circulating on social media. Several posts containing registration schedules or specific links have been confirmed as not originating from official government sources.
Currently, the government is still in the planning process for staffing needs, involving data collection on required formations from various ministries, agencies, and regional governments. In the ASN selection process, the government first maps out staffing requirements before determining the number of formations to be opened. Once the needs are established, the selection schedule and registration stages will be announced to the public. Therefore, the public cannot yet confirm the registration date, number of formations, or institutions that will open CPNS vacancies in 2026 before an official decision is made.
BKN has discovered false information regarding the opening of CPNS 2026 spreading through various digital platforms, with some directing people to access links that are not from official government sites. The public is urged not to provide personal data such as their National Identity Number (NIK), Family Card number (KK), passwords, or OTP codes to unverified parties, as this data could be misused by irresponsible individuals.
Those seeking the latest information on CPNS 2026 are advised to monitor official government channels, including the official SSCASN BKN portal, the official BKN website, the official website of the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB), and the official social media accounts of relevant government agencies. Information regarding registration schedules, applicant requirements, formations, and selection stages will only be announced through these official channels.
Although the official schedule has not been released, prospective applicants can begin preparations by updating important documents such as their identity card (KTP), diplomas, academic transcripts, and other supporting documents. Additionally, candidates can start studying the Basic Competency Selection (SKD) materials, which include the National Insight Test (TWK), General Intelligence Test (TIU), and Personal Characteristics Test (TKP). Early preparation will help prospective participants be more ready when the government officially opens the CPNS 2026 selection.
