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, Federal student aid, State-based student aid in 31 states, Federally-funded job training, and U.S. citizenship for immigrant men.

Selective Service was a law drafted in 1917 that required all men in the U.S. between the ages of 21 and 30 to register for military.  Men born in 1963 and after were required to register within 30 days after their 18th birthday.
