Federal law requires all males aged 18 through 25 to register with the Selective Service System. The Code of Virginia, § 2.2-2804, requires selective service registration as a condition for state employment. During the new hire paperwork session, all males will be asked to complete a Selective Service Compliance Form. Male new hires who have not registered must present verification from the Selective Service System that they have met the requirements of the Code Section.

For a complete list of who is required to register, please see view the Selective Service Chart. More information about selective service requirements can be found on the Selective Service System website.
