World War I draft registration cards for men ages 18 to 45 may list address, birth date, birthplace, race, nationality, citizenship, and next of kin. Not all registrants served in the war. For Virginia's cards see:
*United States. Selective Service System. Virginia, ''World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918''. Washington, D.C.: National Archives, 1987-1988. (On 85 Family History Library films beginning with film {{FHL|754900|title-id|disp=1984203}}) These cards have been digitized and are searchable online. See [[United States World War I Draft Records|WWII Draft Records]] for more information.

To find an individual's draft card, you must know his name and residence at the time of registration. The cards are arranged alphabetically by county, within the county by draft board, and alphabetically by surname within each draft board. Most counties had only one board; large cities had more.
 
A map showing the boundaries of individual draft boards is available for most large cities. Finding an ancestor's street address in a city directory will help you in using the draft board map. There is an alphabetical list of cities that are on the map. For a copy of this map, see:
