Emergency FAFSA question

<p>Hope someone is on here who can help.</p>

<p>Re: Identity Confirmation Pending for her PIN number</p>

<p>How long does one wait for this confirmation? Apparently it is needed before you can fill out the FAFSA forms.</p>

<p>I am filling out the FAFSA for my daughter. Her college as recommended that it be submitted by today. We just finished meeting our accountant and I have the information I need. </p>

<p>I can't get past the first page. HELP!</p>

<p>you may not be able to sign and submit…but u can complete it…i got my PIN pretty quickly…takes about 3 weeks i think to use IDOL anyways…but u can send it with out IDOC then submit after…after I sent for the PIN…I was able to fill it out…go back in and sign in</p>

<p>Thanks…</p>

<p>I have a PIN which I got when I submitted for my DS 4 years ago. Her’s is not approved. How do you complete without her pin? I can’t get past the first page. No next button.</p>

<p>Not sure what IDOL or IDOC mean.</p>

<p>GCMom…the FAFSA PIN has nothing whatsoever to do with IDOC.</p>

<p>To the OP…sometimes it takes time for the PIN to be issued. I hope you applied for one for the student AND for one of the parents. You need both.</p>

<p>Some time as in an hour or some time as in weeks? </p>

<p>Somehow I missed that you needed a lot of lead time before you could submit the FAFSA. When I filled out the estimate version a few weeks ago, I did not see anything that said I should apply for her pin number weeks in advance.</p>

<p>Still…did you fill out and submit that estimated FAFSA? You would have needed the PINs to do that.</p>

<p>I filled it out but I did not submit it. Just did it to see how complicated it would be. I have my pin. The estimate did not require a PIN for my daughter just to enter the information. Since I didn’t try to submit it, I didn’t realize I would need to plan ahead for her PIN.</p>
