INFORMATION FOR REGISTRARS
FOR THE SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM

PURPOSE

This booklet furnishes information about the Selective Service System (SSS) Uncompensated Registrars, how to apply for a Registrar appointment, and how to administer Selective Service registrations.

PART I: INFORMATION ABOUT REGISTRAR APPOINTMENTS

Uncompensated Registrars are persons volunteering their services to assist in the administration of Selective Service registrations. Every person who volunteers for uncompensated service shall take an Oath of Office and agree to a Waiver of Pay before assuming duties. This requirement will be fulfilled when the potential Registrar completes and signs the SSS Form 402, Uncompensated Registrar Appointment Form (see sample form on page 2), and obtains Selective Service approval.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR REGISTRAR APPOINTMENT

The Director of the Selective Service System or a Selective Service Region Director may consider a person for appointment as a Registrar who is:

1. At least 18 years of age;
2. A citizen of the United States; and
3. Registered with Selective Service, if required to do so.

If you have been solicited to apply for an uncompensated registrar appointment, you must complete an SSS Form 402, Uncompensated Registrar Appointment Form and submit it to:

Selective Service System
Registrar Program
P.O. Box 94737
Palatine, IL 60094-4737

Be sure to enter all pertinent information on the SSS Form 402. You must await official written approval by Selective Service before you can administer registrations. Once appointed, you will receive an initial supply of registration materials to begin the administration of registrations.
