If you are a man ages 18 through 25 and living in the U.S., then you must register with Selective Service. It’s the law. You can register at any U.S. Post Office and do not need a social security number. When you do obtain a social security number, let Selective Service know. Provide a copy of your new social security number card; being sure to include your complete name, date of birth, Selective Service registration number, and current mailing address; and mail to the Selective Service System, P.O. Box 94636, Palatine, IL 60094-4636.

Be sure to register before your 26th birthday. After that, it’s too late!

Late registrations are accepted, but not once a man reaches age 26. Men who do not register within the 60-day window are technically in violation of the law and should register as soon as possible.

I can't guess that - but like it's posted - your technically in violation of the law, and I know getting arrested, convicted is not helpful to becoming an USC.

Go ahead and register - only time you really should sweat it is if your past 26 years of age - which your not.

I'm gonna register today! But i just wanted too know if it's too late as i have already been here a while and if it will be an issue that i didn't register sooner when i apply for citizenship?

I thought Bobby answered your question quite well:
