ATTENTION CUSTOMERS:
Since Federal agencies will be closed on Wednesday, December 5, 2018, to honor of the death of America’s 41st President, George H. W. Bush, the Selective Service System’s Registration Information Office will also be closed. Those customers who need to speak with a representative should try their call on the next business day, during normal hours of operation. The Registration Information Office will re-open on Thursday, December 6, 2018, at 9:00 a.m. ET. Self-service registration and verification services will still be available through the automated phone system and the Internet.

Immigrants

The Selective Service System has not now, or in the past, collected or shared any information which would indicate a man's immigration status, either documented or undocumented. The Selective Service System has no authority to collect such information, has no use for it, and it is irrelevant to the registration requirement. Consequently, there is no immigration data to share with anyone.
