Creating an FSA ID • Go to FAFSA.gov and click the link to create an FSA ID. • Create a username and password, and enter your email address. • Enter your name, date of birth, Social Security number, contact information and challenge questions and answers. • Review your information and read and accept the terms and conditions. • Confirm your email address using the secure code, which will be sent to the email address you entered when you created your FSA ID. Once you verify your email address, you can use it instead of your username to log in to complete your FAFSA. You can use your FSA ID to sign a FAFSA right away. Once the Social Security Administration verifies your information in one to three days, or if you have linked your PIN to your FSA ID, you will be able to use your FSA ID to access your applica- tion.
