The Ministry of the Interior has announced that medical screening for applicants in its ongoing recruitment exercise will begin on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at designated centres across the country.

In a statement, the Ministry said official SMS notifications to shortlisted applicants will be sent between Sunday, March 29 and Tuesday, March 31, 2026, giving successful candidates just over a week to prepare before the screening commences.

The Ministry specified that all official communications regarding the exercise will be sent exclusively from the authorised sender ID, "CSERP," and urged applicants to disregard any messages arriving from other sources.

"Applicants are advised to take note that all messages regarding the screening will be sent exclusively from the authorised sender ID, 'CSERP,'" the statement read.

The Ministry also outlined the process applicants should follow before proceeding to the screening stage.

According to the statement, applicants who have been selected for the next stage of the exercise will notice a change in their status on the online portal from "Qualified" to "Medical Screening" before being required to make any payment.

Payments, the Ministry stressed, are to be made only through the secure web checkout system on the portal, a caution that appears designed to guard against fraud.

The recruitment exercise, which falls under the Ministry of the Interior, covers security services under its supervision.
