New Korean War Era Draft Cards!

25 Oct 2025 9:44 AM | Anonymous

As part of our ongoing effort to digitize Korean War draft cards, we are pleased to announce the addition of newly digitized Korean War Era Draft Registration Cards from the following states:

  • Arizona
  • Indiana
  • Kentucky
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • North Dakota
  • Rhode Island
  • South Dakota
  • Tennessee
  • Washington

In 1948, President Harry S. Truman reinstated the Selective Service Act, requiring all men aged 18-25 to register for the draft. Thus, a draft registration card from this era does not necessarily indicate that the registrant served in the war.

Korean War era draft cards contain information for registrants, including:

  • Name, birthdate, place of birth
  • Residence
  • Next of kin (someone who will always know your address)
  • Marital status
  • Previous military service
  • Occupation
  • Physical description

Explore these newly released Korean War Era Draft Registration Cards, 1948-1959, on Fold3 today!
