Is Selective Service issuing draft cards?
No. No one has been drafted since 1973, and it would require an act of Congress to reinstate the draft.
Most Americans over the age of 30 remember the "draft card" which Selective Service issued to each man at the time he registered. For many years there were in fact two cards: the Registration Certificate and the Notice of Classification.

At no time was the card officially titled "draft card," but it was by this colloquial name that the proof of registration was usually known.
