I am registered with the Selective Service System. I understand my registration will be verified with the Selective Service System database.
I was born a female; therefore, the registration requirement does not apply to me.

I meet one of the authorized Selective Service registration exemptions and understand that I will be required to provide verification before I can be employed by TSA.
I am or was a member of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty; therefore, I am considered compliant with registration requirements. I understand I must provide documentation of my military service, e.g., form DD-214.
I was born a male after December 31, 1959, and did not register for the Selective Service. I am not exempt from the registration requirement.

I was aware of my requirement to register with the Selective Service before I turned 26 years old; however, I failed to do so.
