                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

REGISTRATION WITH SELECTIVE SERVICE REQUIRED FOR ISSUANCE OF LEARNER&#8217;S
PERMITS, DRIVER&#8217;S LICENSES, COMMERCIAL DRIVER&#8217;S LICENSES, AND
SPECIAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS TO CERTAIN APPLICANTS (§ 46.2-221.1)

A. Every male applicant for a learner&#8217;s permit, driver&#8217;s license,
commercial driver&#8217;s license, special identification card, or renewal of
any such permit, license, or card who is less than twenty-six years old and is
either a citizen of the United States or an immigrant shall, at the time of his
application, be registered in compliance with the requirement of section 3 of
the Military Selective Service Act, 50 U.S.C. &#xA7; 3801 et seq. The
application for a learner&#8217;s permit, driver&#8217;s license, commercial
driver&#8217;s license, special identification card, or renewal of any such
permit, license, or card submitted by any such person shall indicate either (i)
that he is already registered with the Selective Service or (ii) that he
authorizes the Department to forward to the Selective Service System the
personal information necessary for such registration. This personal information
shall be forwarded by the Department to the Selective Service System in an
electronic format. The Department shall include on its application forms notice
to affected persons that their submission of the application grants their
consent to be registered with the Selective Service System, if required to so
register by federal law.
			Data received by the Selective Service System under this subsection that
pertains to any persons less than eighteen years old shall not be used to
register that person with the Selective Service until that person is eighteen
years old.

B. If the applicant for a learner&#8217;s permit, driver&#8217;s license,
commercial driver&#8217;s license, special identification card, or renewal of
any such permit, license, or card is a male less than eighteen years old, his
application shall be signed by his parent or by the guardian having custody of
him. If he has no parent or guardian, then no learner&#8217;s permit,
driver&#8217;s license, commercial driver&#8217;s license, or special
identification card shall be issued to him or renewed by the Department unless
his application is signed by the judge of the juvenile and domestic relations
district court of the city or county in which he resides. If the minor making
the application is married or otherwise emancipated, in lieu of any
parent&#8217;s, guardian&#8217;s or judge&#8217;s signature, the minor may
present proper evidence of the solemnization of the marriage or the order of
emancipation and sign the application himself. By signing the application as
required in this subsection, the parent, guardian, or judge, or emancipated
minor shall be deemed to authorize the Department to register the applicant with
the Selective Service System as provided in subsection A.

C. If any male applicant for a learner&#8217;s permit, driver&#8217;s license,
commercial driver&#8217;s license, special identification card, or renewal of
any such permit, license, or card who is required by subsection A to be
registered with the Selective Service System declines, refuses, or fails to do
so, his application shall be denied.
