How Do You Update Selective Service Information?

Find out how to update Selective Service information online, when address changes are required, and which corrections need a phone call instead.

Direct answer

To update Selective Service information, use the official online address change form if you are age 18 through 25 and need to update your address. Selective Service says address changes must be reported within 10 days until January 1 of the year you turn 26. Name changes, misspelled names, and birthdate corrections require calling the agency instead of using the address form.
