I’m worried that I’ll get in trouble by the selective services but i need that letter for financial aid, any advice?
Don’t listen to that person above me.
How old are you? If you are male ages 18-24, then you are eligible for selective service. Did you sign up for selective service WHEN you were between 18-24? If you did, show your registration card/give them your registration number to the financial aid.
If you didn’t sign up for selective service at this time, I’m sorry to tell you that it is illegal (by law, all men 18-24 are required to sign up). Try to sign up for selective service anyway, even if you are too old. Just explain you didn’t get a chance to sign up. I don’t think you’ll go to jail for signing up late. Better late than never.
I had this problem also. I filled up my FAFSA form at 17 years old and didn’t have to sign up for selective service (I still got aid), and as soon as I turned 18, I HAD TO sign up.
