The FAFSA ID - The First Step of the Financial Aid Journey

FAFSA opens on December 1st this year. If you are a student or parent planning on filling out the FAFSA (Free Application of Federal Student Aid) you will be asked to create a set of login credentials known as the FAFSA ID. The FAFSA ID is your electronic signature that allows you to sign legally binding documents. Be sure to never share your FAFSA ID as it carries the same legal weight as your signature. The FAFSA ID can take up to 1-3 days to be verified by the Social Security Administration.

DO PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND STUDENTS NEED THEIR OWN FSA ID?

Yes, if you are a parent of a dependent student, you will need your own FSA ID if you want to sign your child's FAFSA electronically. If you have more than one child attending college, you can use the same FSA ID to sign all applications.
