What happens if I don't register?

The penalties for not registering can be very serious. A man who fails to register may, if prosecuted and convicted, face a fine of

up to $250,000 and/or a prison term of up to five years.

Not registering can also affect your ability to go to school, become a citizen and get a job.

Failing to register can mean:

• You will not qualify for federal student loans or grant programs, including Pell Grants, College Work-Study, Guaranteed Student/Plus Loans and National Direct Student Loans.

• You cannot apply for citizenship if you arrived in the U.S. before your 26th birthday.

• You cannot participate in the federal job-training act called the Workforce Investment Act.

• You are not eligible for jobs in the executive branch of the federal government and the U.S. Postal Service.

• You may not be able to get a driver’s license, as some states require proof of registration.
