Registration is Federal law. It is also required to stay eligible for many Federal and state benefits, including student financial aid, job training, and jobs in the Executive Branch of the Federal government, such as jobs with the U.S. Postal Service.
Students now have two additional means in which to complete the registration process.
A student may pick up a registration card in the school's guidance office, complete the information required and mail it in. He then enters in some basic information and within 30 seconds he'll receive a Selective Service number. Within about two weeks, he will receive an acknowledgment card in the mail. Remember, registering with the Selective Service is the law.
