Foreign Service Oral Assessment Information Related to COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

The safety and security of the American people, our workforce, and prospective candidates is a top priority for the U.S. Department of State.

IMPORTANT: Beginning March 23, the Board of Examiners (BEX) Assessment Center temporarily suspended assessments for both Generalists and Specialists. If you have an appointment after that date, you are guaranteed an assessment and you will automatically be rescheduled for a date in the future. At this time, rescheduled appointment dates are not being assigned pending a review of BEX operational status.

BEX staff continue to carry out all other assessment-related processes.

Please subscribe here to receive future Talent Acquisition updates and specific guidance on the assessment process.

If you are a Diplomatic Security (DS) candidate, you will be contacted by DS to reschedule your assessment once they are fully operational.
