Who must register for Selective Service
Almost all men who are 18-25 years old and live in the United States must register for Selective Service. This includes:
U.S. citizens (U.S. born, dual citizens, and naturalized)
Immigrants (legal permanent residents and undocumented immigrants)
Refugees and asylum seekers
People with disabilities
Additionally, almost all men who are 18-25 year old U.S. citizens who live outside of the United States must also register for Selective Service.
See Selective Service’s full list of who is required and exempt from registering.
Penalties for not registering
There are consequences if you fail to register with Selective Service. It is a federal felony, punishable by fines or a prison sentence. And you may not be eligible for federal jobs, citizenship, or state-funded student financial aid.
