2. Why is Selective Service Registration important? It’s the law. Anyone assigned male at birth must register with Selective Service at age 18. Failing to register can result in significant lost opportunities, including: – Being barred from receiving student loans – Being barred from participating in federal job training programs – Being unable to secure employment with the Federal government, as well as many state and local government agencies such as police, EMTs and fire fighters – Receiving a driver’s license or renewal in most states. – Experiencing more difficulty becoming a U.S. citizen if they are immigrant wishing to become citizens Pat Schuback, Public Affairs Specialist Selective Service System 1515 Wilson Blvd, 5th Floor Arlington, VA 22209-2425 TEL: (703) 605-4105 pat.schuback@sss.gov

3. Our research tells us that when someone doesn’t register, it’s because they don’t know they have to. That’s why we need you. Pat Schuback, Public Affairs Specialist Selective Service System 1515 Wilson Blvd, 5th Floor Arlington, VA 22209-2425 TEL: (703) 605-4105 pat.schuback@sss.gov

4. Why we need you: The law says that all young men must register with the Selective Service System when they turn 18. Laws based on gender identity can be challenging for some members of the LGBTQ community. That’s why it’s important for every person to know if and how the law is applied. If a person who is legally required to register fails to do so, they could be permanently barred from many of the opportunities that ensure a bright future.
