When must all men register for the Selective Services?

• A. at 18
• B. at 21
• C. at 16
• D. at 20

Answer: (A)

Registration starts at the 18th birthday and must be completed within 30 days after turning 18. This makes “at 18” the correct choice because the obligation begins precisely when you become eligible, not later ages like 20 or 21, nor younger ages like 16. The requirement applies to male U.S. citizens and male immigrant residents, and women are not required to register.
