NOTICE OF DUTY TO REGISTER WITH U.S.
SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM
If you are a man and are between 18 and 26 years old when you enter the United States, you must register with the
U.S. Selective Service System within 30 days after you enter the United States.
If you are required to register, do so
promptly. You cannot register after you reach age 26.
Registration is for conscription into military service in an emergency mobilization of the armed forces. There is no conscription at this time.
To register, go to the nearest United States Post Office, obtain a registration form, fill in the information requested and
hand the completed form to the postal clerk. Within 90 days you should receive a Registration Acknowledgement
postcard from Selective Service. If you do not hear from Selective Service within this period, it is important that you
contact Selective Service to verify your registration status. You may use the telephone number listed below for this
purpose.
Failure to register with the Selective Service System is a serious crime in the United States, punishable by
imprisonment for up to 5 years and a fine of not more than $250,000. In addition, you may be denied employment with
the Federal Government and you may be denied financial aid for college education, and job training benefits. You
may also be denied U.S. citizenship if you later apply for naturalization.
For more information about Selective Service registration after you enter the United States call 709-688-6888.
