Technically, registration should occur within 30 days of a man’s 18th birthday, but the System will accept late registrations up through age 25.You can register at any U.S. Post Office, and you do not need a social security number to do so. People who have a duly issued social security number can register on-line.We are happy to assist individuals or families who might have questions about their immigration status, rights and responsibilities in connection with their quest for citizenship, permanent residence or a temporary work visa.
