Background
The WWI draft registration cards consist of approximately 24,000,000 cards of men who registered for the draft, about 23% of the population in 1918. The cards are arranged by state. Not all of the men who registered for the draft actually served in the military, and not all who served in the military registered for the draft.
The WWI Selective Service System was in place from May, 1917 to May, 1919. There were 3 registrations:
- June 5, 1917 -- all men ages 21-31
- June 5, 1918 -- those who attained age 21 after June 5, 1917
- Sept. 12, 1918 -- all men ages 18-45
What Can You Find in the Cards?
While the 10-12 questions varied slightly between the 3 registrations, information one can find there generally includes:
- full name
- date and place of birth
- race
- citizenship status
- occupation and place of employment
- personal description
- nearest relative (last two versions)
- signature
The draft cards contain no information about an individual's military service. They are not service cards. Learn more about the draft registration cards
