Undocumented [male] in the USA during early twenties, never registered for SSS
Years later becomes permanent resident (had to return to home country to get waivers and complete process).
When necessary times passes and the ability to apply for naturalization is available what can be done with the SSS requirement? Now, well over the age of 26 and cannot register with SSS.
As stated by "Guide to Naturalization"
"If you are male and lived in the United States (in any status other than as a lawful nonimmigrant) during ages 18 through 25, you must be registered with the Selective Service System."
Just to confirm, is this man sure he didn't register for SSS? Did he have a driver's license before the age of 26? If so, he may have signed up. Has he checked the SSS registry to confirm if he's registered? They ask for last name, DOB, and SS #. If he's done all of that, here is some information below. He will have to prove that he didn't purposely not register.
I believe the first license was at the age of 21. Are you automatically registered when you get a drivers license?
I checked SSS and no selective service number pulls up
It depends on the state he is located in. Some automatically sign you up, some make it an option. Also, that legislation may have not be created yet when he got a DL. For example, the state of Texas didn't adopt automatic registration until 2006. You can pick which state he resides in at the link below and it will give you details about their registration with a DL.

Any feedback?
I came to the US age 17 on a green card.
30 years later I told immigration during my citizenship interview i was never in the US long enough, I spent a lot of time back home in England. They can't prove otherwise.
I had to write a letter explaining what I told them and it was placed in my file.
That was it, I got my citizenship.
And NO you don't need a lawyer.

He doesn't need to worry if he's over 31 years old now. Just has to say he didn't know about it from 18 to 31..

I find it irresponsible to tell someone they don't need a lawyer when we don't know their whole situation and background. Yes, these processes can be done without a lawyer, but that route is not always the best for everyone. Unless someone is a lawyer on here and/or has direct legal experience, none of us can say with full confidence we know what's best for the person.
This seems promising he is over the age of 31. So with that is a "status information letter" still required... as he was living in the US during the ages wherein registration was required...

To me the instructions are clear. He is over 31. contact an immigration attorney and ask this as your free by question. Martindale.com is a good source.
