Pay attention to the date shown in the official file
FGV's competition page lists the notice under September 18, 2026. However, the official PDF made available by the organizer shows “Notice No. 002, dated September 24, 2026” in its header, while an internal signature in the document is dated September 17. Because the official materials contain this date discrepancy, candidates should monitor the FGV page for any replacement file, correction or new notice.
What to do before applying
- Confirm that you will be able to prove secondary education, the required age and a category B driver's license by the appointment stage.
- If you plan to request a fee waiver, prepare your CadÚnico documents before applications open because the waiver window lasts only one day.
- Prepare the digital 3x4 photo according to the notice specifications.
- Plan to pay the bank slip by November 6 and avoid payment methods that are not accepted.
- Read the program syllabus and Physical Fitness Test standards in the notice before setting up your study and physical-preparation plan.
For corrections, calls and results, use the official FGV competition page as the main reference and always check the latest version of the published documents.
