    Every male in the US under a certain age (I think it’s close to 30? I’m not American) has to register under penalty of law.

    This also applies to immigrant boys/men who become citizens and transgender men (people born female who gain legal recognition as a male).

        Most people in the US get automatically registered by their state DMV to the feds, but you’re technically responsible for doing it even if you don’t get a driver’s license

        It’s a “draft” sign up everyone signs when they register to vote or get thier drivers license. Since there’s no longer a draft it’s basically just saying yes to maybe being selected for jury duty someday.
