<p>why do parents need pin??and my mom can not create one...because she is not a us citizen even if i am...do my parents really need one??</p>
<p>If your Mom is a legal resident with a SSN she can get a PIN - it is just you that has to be a citizen. A parent PIN is required to sign and submit FAFSA electronically. If she cannot get one you can submit FAFSA by mail though this will take longer.</p>
<p>Check the above with the FAFSA people - they have both email and phone contact info on their web site. Good luck.</p>
<p>hmmm.....bot of my parents are not lega residents...they dont live here in the states...and because they dont have ssn...they cant make pin...</p>
