It's not an application, it's a registration card.
Almost every male in the US between the ages of 18 and 25 is required to register. In the event that Congress were ever to introduce a draft, the Selective Service Registration database would be what's used to pick people for it.
If you are a male between 18 and 25 and you have NOT registered for Selective Service, you should go to the link below and register online.
If you don;t, as well as the direct penalties for not registering, you are ineligible for student loans or grants, most types of government jobs, and several other things.
