US Selective Service System

The Selective Service System is a federal agency that requires nearly all male U.S. citizens and male immigrants to register at age 18, ensuring eligibility for various benefits and opportunities, including state-based student aid and government jobs. In times of national emergency, the agency utilizes its registry to provide personnel for the Department of Defense and alternative service for conscientious objectors as authorized by the President and Congress.

By registering, individuals contribute to the security of their community and the nation while maintaining compliance with federal law. The agency also provides resources and guidance for those who may have missed the registration deadline, ensuring that eligible individuals understand their options and responsibilities regarding Selective Service registration.
