New Selective Service Rules Allow Dual Registration Addresses
General Page explains new Selective Service regulations permit registrants to list a residence and a separate mailing address on the registration card. The registrar must not dictate the residence choice, and mailing addresses may change with mobility. The two-address system aims to improve flexibility over the single-address approach of earlier registrations.
