Selective Service
Men who are. U.S. citizens, and male aliens living in the U.S., who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective
Service. A man 26 years of age or older, who is not registered with Selective Service, may request an agency review whether or
not his failure to register was knowing or willful. The burden of proof is on the individual to show by a preponderance of
evidence that his failure to register was neither knowing nor willful. A preponderance of evidence means a degree of relevant
evidence that a reasonable person, considering the record as a whole, would accept as sufficient to support a conclusion that
the matter asserted is more likely to be true than not true. Waivers granted are only valid for the agency granting the waiver.
