2 How to Start Financial Aid

How to Create the FSA ID
The FSA ID is your legal signature for U.S. Department of Education systems, used to complete the FAFSA and manage federal student loans.

Key Tips:

Your FSA ID is unique to you—don’t share it.
Parents must also create their own FSA ID to sign the FAFSA.
After creating your FSA ID, wait 1–3 days for Social Security Administration confirmation before using it for additional tasks.
Forgot your FSA ID? Use recovery tools at log-in, like secure codes sent to your phone or email.

You will need your Social Security number, full name, date of birth, email, and mobile number. Visit StudentAid.gov for more information and support.
