It was open to any citizen or person wanting to become a citizen that did not fight against the government in the war.
For this act, gender did not matter as long as the person was head of a household or at least 21 years old.
They had to reside on the property for 5 years while improving it, such as clearing it, farming it and putting a proper home on it. They would receive the title at that time once they paid a registration fee. Another way for them to receive the title faster was if they lived on it for 6 months, with minor improvements and paid $1.25 per acre.

They then had to find people to sign acknowledgements that those improvements were actually done and the land wasn't abandoned.
