The
easiest and fastest way for a man to register is to register
on-line. Or a man can fill out a registration card and
send it to the Selective Service System. The form asks for
the young man's full name, address, date of birth, telephone
number, and Social Security number (if he has one). On a form
that is sent in, his signature is also required.
Here
are some places to register:
REGISTER
ON-LINE
Young men may now register on-line with Selective Service.
AT
THE POST OFFICE
Selective Service "mail-back" registration forms
are available at any U.S. Post Office. A man can fill
it out, sign (leaving the space for your Social Security Number
blank, if you have not yet obtained one*), affix postage,
and mail it to Selective Service, without the involvement
of the postal clerk. Men living overseas may register at any
U.S. Embassy or consular office.
*Provide
your Social Security Number to the Selective Service when
you do obtain one.
BY
MAIL
A young man may also register by filling out a Reminder
Mailback Card. Selective Service sends this card to many young
men around the time they turn 18. Mailback cards are also
available at some post offices. A man can fill out the card
at home and mail it directly to Selective Service. Forms will
be sent to: Selective Service System, Registration Information
Office, P.O. Box 94638, Palatine, IL 60094-4638.
CHECK
BOX
Another way a young man can register is to check a box
on the application form for Federal Student Financial Aid
(FAFSA form). A man can check "Yes" on Box #29 of
that form, and the Department of Education will furnish Selective
Service with the information to register the man.
AT
THEIR HIGH SCHOOL
More than half the high schools in the Nation have a staff
member or teacher appointed as a Selective
Service Registrar. These individuals help register male
high school students.
