Hi,
does anyone know how to create a Parent ID? I had one last year and used it to sign my daughter’s fafsa.
But she took a gap year, hence I login this year, it treated me as a student and asked me whether I start a new FAFSA… I just need to sign the student’s FAFSA…
Do you have your old FSA ID? If so, you go to your student’s completed FAFSA and use it there.
I do have my old id, but when I logged onto the old id, it brought me to a student page and asked me whether I wanted to create the 2017-2018 fafsa…
It seems that I can ignore it and just use the login information to sign the FAFSA, right?
The FAFSA is the student’s FAFSA, the student needs to log in, not the parent.
Once she logs in, she can create a “save key” and give gou it to start from where she finished, and to enter parent financial info. You can sign the FAFSA with your parent ID and she can sign it with her ID, and submit.
Your ID should still work, but if it has been over a year that you last used it, you might have to make a new password.
Do you have an old ID? Did you ever get a new one since May 2016? If not, you have to go in and create a new one. It requires several top secret questions, for you to give a special date in your life, for you to create a number. WRITE IT ALL DOWN. Case sensitive! If it can’t match you with SSN information, it will take a few days so enter everything EXACTLY how it is on your SSA info - Name, birth date, double check the name again…it’s a pain
I’d create the FSA ID on a new app, not the one your child has ready to go and you just have to sign.
