AP Police 2026 admit card is awaited. SLPRB issued six recruitment notifications on 16 September 2026, and the State Level Police Recruitment Board, Andhra Pradesh will host every stage-wise hall ticket at slprb.ap.gov.in once the exam calendar is fixed. The 2026 cycle covers 2,050 vacancies across Sub Inspector, Police Constable, Fireman, Warder, Scientific Assistant, and Driver Operator posts. This page tracks when the AP Police Constable and SI hall tickets drop, how a candidate signs in to download them, the documents to carry to the centre, and what to do if a detail on the card is wrong.
Before the detailed sections below, the quick view here captures what sits on top of the 2026 cycle. The table lists the posts under the SLPRB umbrella, the notification numbers from September 2026, the current hall ticket status, and the single portal every stage of the exam uses.

SLPRB has not grouped the September 2026 recruitment into one umbrella notification. Six separate notification numbers cover the full set of posts, and a candidate who applies under more than one of them will download a different hall ticket for each. The table matches each notification to the posts it covers so a candidate knows which card to look for on slprb.ap.gov.in.
| Notification Number | Posts Covered | Service |
|---|---|---|
| 81/SLPRB/2026 | SCT Police Constable (Civil), PC (AR), Firemen in APSDRF, Warders (men and women) | Civil Police, Fire Services, Prisons |
| 82/SLPRB/2026 | SCT Police Constable (Mechanics), SCT PC (Drivers), SCT PC (Communications) | Transport and Communications |
| 83/SLPRB/2026 | Scientific Assistants in FSL | Forensic Science Laboratory |
| 91/SLPRB/2026 | SCT Sub Inspector (Civil), SI (AR), SI (S.P.F) | Civil Police, Special Protection Force |
| 92/SLPRB/2026 | SCT SI (Communications), SCT SI (PTO) | Communications and Technical Branch |
| 93/SLPRB/2026 | Driver Operator in Fire Services | Fire Services |
SLPRB has issued the notification but has not yet opened the application window or published the exam calendar for the 2026 cycle. The hall ticket for each stage follows the exam date for that stage, so until the Board sets dates, every row below reads as awaited. Candidates can check slprb.ap.gov.in for the latest update, and the Previous Year section further down gives a working reference for how early the card usually drops.
| Event | 2026 Date |

| Notification Release | 16 September 2026 (SI and Constable notifications) |
| Application Window Opens | To be announced |
| Application Window Closes | To be announced |
| Preliminary Written Exam Date | To be announced |
| Preliminary Hall Ticket Release | To be announced |
| PMT and PET Date | To be announced |

AP Police selection is not a single paper. Each stage of the selection has its own hall ticket at slprb.ap.gov.in, and a card issued for one stage is not accepted at the next. The table below sets out the full stage order and the exact card SLPRB opens for download at each step, which matters most for first time applicants who confuse the Prelims hall ticket with the one issued later for the physical rounds.
| Stage | Hall Ticket Issued | What It Is For |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Preliminary Written Test Hall Ticket | The first screening paper, taken by every applicant under the notification |
| Stage 2 (SI only) | Stage II Online Application Receipt | Proof of shortlisting for the physical rounds; filed at slprbpc.ap.gov.in |
| Stage 3 | PMT and PET Call Letter | For the Physical Measurement Test and Physical Efficiency Test at designated regional centres |
| Stage 4 | Final Written Exam Hall Ticket | For the main written paper after the physical round result is out |
| Stage 5 | Document Verification Call Letter | Issued only to candidates on the merit list, for the final document check |
AP Police hall ticket download is an online only process at slprb.ap.gov.in. SLPRB publishes a dedicated link for every notification and every stage, so a candidate has to click the link that matches the post and stage they are appearing for, not the first hall ticket link on the home page. The login screen asks for the Application or Registration Number along with the Date of Birth.
The hall ticket is both a travel pass to the exam centre and a legal identity proof during the paper. A single wrong field (name, date of birth, photo, category) can delay a candidate at the gate or lead to a rejection at the result stage. Reading every line once right after download is the safest habit, and raising a correction through the helpdesk is faster when the mismatch is spotted early.
SLPRB checks the hall ticket, the original photo ID, and the photograph at the frisking gate before letting any candidate into the examination hall. Missing any item on the list below is grounds to refuse entry, and the hall ticket by itself is not enough. Candidates applying under more than one notification should carry a separate set for each paper, since one set does not cover two sittings.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Printed Hall Ticket | A clear print on A4 paper. A soft copy on a phone or tablet is not accepted. |
| Original Photo ID | Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, PAN Card, Driving Licence, or Passport. The name on the ID must match the hall ticket. |
| Photocopy of Photo ID | One photocopy of the same ID, to be handed over at the centre. |
| Passport Size Photographs | Two recent photographs that match the one printed on the hall ticket. |
| Blue or Black Ball Point Pen | For filling the OMR sheet in the written paper. |
| Caste, EWS, or PwD Certificate | Only for candidates applying under a reserved or special category. |
| Secondary ID (optional) | Useful when the primary ID carries a short form of the name that does not match the hall ticket exactly. |
Items not allowed inside the hall include mobile phones, smartwatches, bluetooth earpieces, calculators, digital watches, books, loose paper, bags, purses, and any other electronic or communication device. SLPRB does not provide locker facilities at most centres, so a candidate should keep these items with a companion outside.
SLPRB does not open a full correction window on the admit card after it is issued. A candidate who spots a wrong photograph, signature, name, date of birth, category, or post on the card must raise it through the helpdesk route in the days before the exam, and the Board decides each case on its own merit. The route below is the one SLPRB has used in past cycles for AP Police Constable and SI exams.
The exam day instructions sit on the hall ticket itself, and the invigilator reads them out again at the briefing before the paper. Reporting late is the single biggest reason a candidate loses a chance to take the paper, since SLPRB closes the gate at the exact minute shown on the card and does not allow late entry even for a few minutes. The pointers below cover what the Board has repeatedly flagged in past cycles.
SLPRB has a direct line for login problems, hall ticket generation failures, and wrong details on the card. A candidate stuck at the login screen, seeing a blank page, or getting an error on download should contact the Board on the same day rather than waiting until the exam approaches. The table below groups the common problems with the official route for each.
| Issue | What To Do |
|---|---|
| Forgot Application or Registration Number | Check the registration confirmation email or SMS sent after the online application was filed. Email mail-slprb@ap.gov.in with full name and date of birth if neither is available. |
| Login Error or Captcha Not Loading | Clear browser cache and try a different browser. If the error repeats, email the helpdesk with a screenshot of the error. |
| Hall Ticket Page Loads but PDF Does Not Download | Right click on the file and save as, or try the download in incognito mode. Switching to a laptop from a mobile also helps. |
| Wrong Photo, Signature, or Personal Details | Write to mail-slprb@ap.gov.in with the Application Number, a scan of the application form, and a scan of the original ID. |
| Card Not Released on the Announced Date | Call 9441450639 or 9100203323 between 10 AM and 5 PM on working days. |
| Download Link Not Visible on Home Page | Scroll to the Latest Jobs block and open the notification page; the hall ticket link sits inside the matching notification page, not always on the top banner. |
Until SLPRB sets the 2026 calendar, the last complete cycle is the SCT Police Constable Final Written Exam held in June 2025. Those dates give a working estimate for how many days before the paper the Board tends to open the hall ticket download link, but they are a reference only, not a confirmed 2026 schedule.

|---|---|
| Hall Ticket Download Notice Published | 22 May 2025 |
| Hall Ticket Download Window | 23 May 2025, 5:00 PM to 31 May 2025 |
| Final Written Exam Date | 1 June 2025, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM |
| Gap Between Hall Ticket and Exam | 9 days |
| Login Fields Used in 2025 | Application Number and Date of Birth |
| Exam Cities in 2025 | Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Guntur, Kurnool, Tirupati |
The State Level Police Recruitment Board (SLPRB), Andhra Pradesh is the body set up by the state government to handle police rank recruitment below the Deputy Superintendent level. It is the same Board that issues the hall tickets, decides the exam centres, and publishes the final merit list for every AP Police post. Candidates should treat its portal as the only official source, since every third party page quotes figures that match the Board's own notice.
Ques: Can a candidate show AP Police admit card on a phone at the exam centre instead of a printed copy?
Ans: No, SLPRB asks for a clear printed copy of the hall ticket on A4 paper. A soft copy on a phone or tablet is not accepted at the gate, and the Chief Superintendent can turn the candidate away. A spare print is useful because a smudged or torn copy may also be rejected at the frisking check.
Ques: What happens if a candidate has applied under more than one AP Police 2026 notification?
Ans: SLPRB issues a separate hall ticket for every notification and every stage of the selection. A candidate who has applied under both the Constable Civil and Fireman notifications will download two cards, each with its own Application Number, exam date, and reporting slot. The dates and venues are not shared between notifications, so each card has to be printed and carried on its own.
Ques: Is an attested photocopy of the photo ID enough at AP Police exam centre?
Ans: No, SLPRB asks for the original photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, PAN, Driving Licence, or Passport) along with a photocopy to hand over at the centre. An attested or self-attested copy on its own is not accepted. The name on the original ID has to match the hall ticket exactly, so a candidate whose ID carries a short form of the name should carry a secondary ID too.
Ques: Can a candidate change the exam city on AP Police 2026 hall ticket after it is issued?
Ans: No, SLPRB allots the exam city based on the preference locked in during the online application and does not change it after the hall ticket is issued. A candidate who sees a city on the card different from the locked preference should write to mail-slprb@ap.gov.in with the Application Number before the exam date, so the Board can review the mismatch.
Ques: Does a candidate who clears AP Police Prelims need to download a fresh hall ticket for the PMT and PET?
Ans: Yes, every stage of AP Police selection has its own hall ticket. A candidate who clears the Preliminary Written Test downloads a separate PMT and PET call letter, and a candidate who then clears the physical rounds downloads the Final Written Exam hall ticket after that. The Prelims card does not work for any later stage.
