Further evidence of your peace convictions may be submitted at any time after you originally file your Record. Filling out the Peacemaker Registration Form does not necessarily imply that you intend to cooperate with any system of conscription. You may file your Peacemaker Registration Form with your congregation, conference office, or with MCC U.S. Peace and Justice Ministries. Under current law, all males must register for a potential draft for military service, within 30 days of their eighteenth birthday. Selective Service may send you a letter when you turn 18, indicating it is time to register.
Registration forms are available at any U.S. post office.
The form asks for your name, date of birth, address, phone number, and social security number. It is not possible to officially request conscientious objector status at the time of registration. This can be done only after a draft is enacted and you receive an induction notice. It is a good idea to make a photocopy of your completed form before sending it to Selective Service. Some young people do not wish to cooperate with the Selective Service System, because it supplies youth to the armed forces to be trained for war.
