An established list is considered active for no less than one year and no more than four years from the date of establishment.

A List Certification includes the names of eligible candidates on an Active Civil Service List that has been established. The Certification may contain part of a list, the whole list, or multiple lists at the request of an appointing agency, to fill vacancies and/or replace provisionals. Eligible candidates on a Certification may be considered for probable appointment at the appointing Agency.
