Under federal law, virtually all men must register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday. However, the Selective Service System now accepts early submission of registration information by 17 year old men. The Agency holds their registration information and automatically enters their data into the system when they turn 18. The fastest way to register is on-line at www.sss.gov. If you have any questions, please contact Stacy Jerrett.
