How do I know if I am registered with Selective Service?

Only men are required to register.

As for your Qs – No you aren’t automatically registered as a citizen, and yes if you didn’t register you aren’t registered.

Soo…I think given the information you provided, it’s safe to say that you aren’t registered.

PnL’s got it. As a lady, you are not required to register for the draft which would totally never happen again because we remember how awful it was during ‘nam. But, you know, we have the Selective Service ready to go. Just in case we do need to draft. Which we would totally never do. But just in case.

Empresspixie is right except it’s true even if you are not a lady.

Thanks, guys!

So we can be certain that I should check the box, “I am not required to register.”

You know, they could have made this easier by having the form check that automatically when I clicked “female”...

Yeah but some girls do sign up. They aren’t required to, but they do it anyway. And if the person is registered, they need your Selective Service registration # irrespective of your sex.

yup only males at the age of 18 are required by law to register for SS

The draft could come back It was being debated last year and earlier this year as well

Have a look a their website

galileogirl is right about EmpressPixie being right about PnL being right…

sorry, kinda an homage to Blazing Saddles, I guess

As I recall, if you are a male citizen of the US, when you are within spitting distance of your 18th birthday, you are required by law to go to the post office and sign your name to register for selective service. If you do it, you are registered for the draft if they ever bring it back. If you do not, they probably won’t come to arrest you, but they will bar you from federal employment.

As for the bringing back the draft, I doubt it will happen with something like Iraq, they can just use the back door draft (they call it a stop loss, but same difference).

yeah I have a couple buddies that have been stop loss

Or there is the IRR when you have finished your active duty time on your army contract

I registered on my 18th birthday at the post office.

Only males 18 or older are required to register for selective service. Females are exempt from selective service.

Here is the site to check if you registered:

I joined the army in 2002, got out in 2006, and I don’t know if I am registered for the selective service I clicked on the link above and it says cannot let me in

I came USA 1991, I don’t registrat tha selective service, if i want to registrat now, can i do it?

By law, your not REQUIRED to sign up for selective service, but as a male, if your not registered you can’t take advantage of government benefits. Stuff, like loans, school grants, and the likes are illegal for non-registered people. If your a male 18 and over and unregistered, if you don apply for a grant or loan and get approved, then use the money, your going to jail no ifs, ands, or buts!
