Forgot to register for Selective Service

[Cat]

Ugh. So I'm filling out this huge security clearance form, and I come across the question asking for my Selective Service number. I figure no problem, and go look it up online. Hmm, not registered. Then I try by phone, with the same result. Decided to register online, and got my number in a few seconds.

I'm 23, and I'm wondering how the hell this happened. This stuff is all over driver's license forms, and sometimes employment applications. The only two explanations I can think of are:

1.) I turned 18 during finals' week at school. Maybe I just forgot.
2.) The DMV, being the morons that they can be, didn't send in my information. I specifically asked them to change my address on my last license form, and they didn't.

So now I'm wondering what happens. Is this really bad, bad, or not a problem now that I'm registered? How does this affect my security clearance application?

As long as you are now registered... You have no concerns.

where do you look up the number? I didn't even know we had a number! I just send their little post card back in and forgot about it.

As long as you're registered you're fine. At least you didn't try for any loans

That's good to know. You can find your number, or register if you don't have one, at www.sss.gov.
