I am 25 years old on F1 status (turning 26 in Feb 2021). Entered on B2 in 2009, did COS  from B2 to F2, then F2 to F1 in 2014 for college.

USPS informed delivery showed that I am getting a mail from selective service system today. I don't know if it's about registration confirmation notice, or that I didn't register with them yet. IIRC, the registration is not required for non-immigrants or males over 26. If they ask me for registration, what should I do? Can I just call them that I am exempt? If it says that I am registered, do I just let it be and do nothing else?

If it matters, I applied for AOS on June. I also applied for new driver's license past August. I know that I-485 submission can automatically register me for the SSS, but I don't know if it's the driver license or I-485 that prompted automatic registration.

Wait until the mail arrives.   

YMMV

Just got the letter. It says that I am registered into the SSS system and that I should keep the letter as the proof. 

 

I think that given there is a small chance I might get my green card before my 26th birthday, it'd be a waste of time and money to send them a proof of my F1 status only to re-register.

As far as I know it's fine to be registered even you are not required to be.

     Keep the letter with the rest of your stuff and leave it at that.

You may need the letter by the time you're filing for the N400.

Similar happened with my son. He was not even 18 yet and USCIS registered him with selective services. They do that sometimes.
