When must all men register for the Selective Service?

Explanation

Men must register for the Selective Service at age 18, or between 18 and 26.

Why it matters

Registration keeps a list ready in case a military draft is ever needed, though none is active today.

The 65/20 special consideration

Question 57 is not in the 65/20 set. An applicant who is 65 or older and has been a lawful permanent resident for 20 years or more studies only the 20 marked questions, so this one would not be asked. Everyone else studies all 100.
