IT'S YOUR COUNTRY TAKE ONE MINUTE TO PROTECT IT.

When you register with the Selective Service, you're helping ensure a secure
future for your community and the United States of America.

While there is currently no draft, registration with the Selective Service
System is the most publicly visible program during peacetime that ensures
operational readiness in a fair and equitable manner. If authorized by the
President and Congress, our Agency would rapidly provide personnel to the
Department of Defense while at the same time providing an Alternative Service
Program for conscientious objectors.

Federal Law requires nearly all male US citizens and male immigrants, 18 through
25, register with Selective Service.

REGISTRATION FOR MEN 18-25

Selective Service registration is required by law as the first part of a fair
and equitable system that, if authorized by the President and Congress, would
rapidly provide personnel to the Department of Defense while at the same time
providing for an Alternative Service Program for conscientious objectors. By
registering, a young man remains eligible for jobs, state-based student aid in
31 states, Federally-funded job training, and U.S. citizenship for immigrant
men.

IMMIGRANTS

If you are an immigrant man living in the United States, documented or
undocumented, and are between the ages of 18 and 25, you are required to
register with few exceptions.

VETERANS

If you are a military veteran or a military reservist, you are still required to
register with Selective Service. However, if you served in the Armed Forces and
are 26 or older, but failed to register, your DD Form 214 is evidence that your
failure to register was not knowing and willful.

PARENTS

Parents should help young men become aware of their civic and legal
responsibilities. By registering, your son remains eligible for benefits that
are linked to registration, like state-based student aid, grants, job training
programs, government jobs and citizenship.
