A specific, consolidated document checklist has not been published as part of either the AP Job Calendar 2026 or the APPSC Exam Calendar 2026. Document requirements (educational certificates, category certificates, ID proof, photograph/signature specifications, etc.) are typically listed in each individual recruitment notification once released, and candidates should refer to that notification directly rather than a generic list.
