SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM REGISTRATION FORM
WHO MUST REGISTER?
Male U.S. citizens and immigrants, documented and undocumented, residing in the U.S. and its territories must register if they are age 18 through 25.

WHY REGISTER?
IT’S THE LAW

Virtually all Men living in the United States and U.S. citizens living abroad must register at 18 with Selective Service. Men may pre-register at 17 years and 3 months and when they turn 18, they will automatically be registered. Men 18 - 25 years old remain in a database for
national emergencies, requiring a future rapid expansion of our Armed Forces.

PROTECT ELIGIBILITIES FOR FUTURE BENEFITS

By registering, a young man stays eligible for:
-U.S. Citizenship for male immigrants
-Student financial aid (federal and most states) and even admission to some state schools
-Job training benefits
-Most federal jobs and jobs with the U.S. Postal Service

FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY

By registering all eligible young men, the Selective Service System ensures a fair and equitable draft, if ever required; however, there
has not been a draft since 1973.

CIVIC DUTY

It’s your responsibility to ensure that young men, 18 - 25, understand the law so they can make an informed decision about registration compliance. Currently, more than 90 percent of eligible young men are registered. It’s a civic duty of every young man to comply
with the law.

INSURANCE FOR THE NATION

By registering, a man’s voluntary participation helps provide a hedge against unforeseen threats. It is a relatively low-cost insurance
policy for our Nation.

AFTER REGISTRATION
Within 90 days, you should receive a Registration Acknowledgement containing your Selective Service Number. You can also verify your Selective Service
Number by going to sss.gov. MOVING - You are required, by Federal law, to submit an address change. You can do it online at www.sss.gov or at your local
Post Office.
