<p>Do both parents need to get a PIN? I know student needs one and a parent needs one but I can not find if both parents need a PIN or if only one PIN is enough.</p>
<p>(Married, joint filers, both willing to do whatever it takes)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>only one parent needs a PIN</p>
<p>Thanks for your pompt reply</p>
<p>Only one parent may need a PIN, but it may be necessary for the other parent to get one for purposes of ‘signing’ the loan documents. Depends on whether you are getting a PLUS loan and whose name its going to be in.</p>
<p>When the FAFSA was completed for my daughter’s freshman year, I got a PIN in my name since I was completing all the documentation. When the time came to fill out the paperwork for the PLUS loan, though, that was going in my husband’s name (since I am a stay-at-home Mom without a regular paycheck). He needed his own PIN for that information.</p>
