Does my parent need an FSA ID?

If you’re required to provide parent information on the FAFSA, one of your parents will need to sign the FAFSA for it to be fully processed. If your parent has a social security number, they’ll need to create an FSA ID to sign the form. If your parent doesn’t have a social security number, they’ll be unable to create an FSA ID. They’ll need to print, sign, and mail a signature page to sign your FAFSA.
