i have question, who must register for Selective Service ? i was reading about it and it says all the people from 18 to 26 years old must register:

Under current law, all male U.S. citizens are required to register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday. In addition, foreign males between the ages of 18 and 26 living in the United States must register. This includes permanent residents (holders of Green Cards)

do i have to register i'm 29 years old now and i entered the US when i was 26 years old , and i'm permanent residents now.

Thanks.

No, you are free and clear! The law applies to you if you were 26(or younger) when you became a permanent resident, not when you entered the country.

The law applies if you became a permanent resident before your 26th birthday so you are good. On your permanent residency application, you sign a waiver providing your information to selective service for registration. While, I don't know if they automatically register you or not, another person on visa journey as well as my husband found that they were registered even though they didn't know it. Either way, you are fine, but here is the website if you want to check. https://www.sss.gov/RegVer/wfVerification.aspx
