The PIN serves as your personal identifier and permits you to
access your personal information in various U.S. Department of Education
systems. Your PIN also serves as your electronic
signature for U.S. Department of Education purposes, so do not share it
with anyone. It's like the Personal Identification Number that
you get from your bank that enables you to access your account.
Each student filer needs a PIN. A PIN
should be requested from the U.S. Department of Education's PIN
Registration site at least 10 days prior to the time you plan to
file the FAFSA. For dependent students, the parent providing the
income information should also have a PIN. For more information
regarding dependency status for filing a FAFSA or which parents'
information is to be reported in cases of separation and
divorce, obtain a copy of the paper FAFSA booklet and read the
instructions carefully.
Those students who submitted a FAFSA for a
previous Academic Year should have received a Personal
Identification Number (PIN) from the U. S. Department of
Education (U.S. Department of Education). If you cannot locate your PIN or
do not have one, go to
http://www.pin.ed.gov to request a PIN. Once you receive
your PIN, you can then complete and submit the electronic
FAFSA. Parents of dependent students also need to request a PIN. |
