Man who received GC at age 30 do not have to register for selective service, right?

[TwoScoops]

If a man who received his greencard at age 30(plus a few months), he does not need to register for selective service.

Is this correct? There's absolutely nothing he needs to do, right?

Just cheking...

Thanks!

Federal law requires that men who are at least 18 years old, but not yet 26 years old, must be registered with Selective Service. This includes all male non-citizens within these age limits who permanently reside in the U.S. Men with "green cards" must register. Men living in the U.S. without INS documentation (undocumented aliens) must also register. Men cannot register after reaching age 26.

Non-immigrant men who are in the U.S. temporarily (diplomatic corps, trade mission personnel, men holding valid visitor or student visas, etc.) do not register.

A male non-citizen who first enters the U.S. as a permanent resident after he has already passed his 26th birthday is not required to register because he is over the age limit.

Women do not register because the law does not apply to them.

You just need to show that you were older than 26 on the date you became a permanent reseident. And looking at your Date Of Birth on the GC and the Date Of Issue on the GC can prove this.
