Before you begin the FAFSA, you will be asked to create an FSA ID. Creating an FSA ID is an important step that will save you a great deal of time in the future. Your FSA ID will be used for the entirety of your college career.

学生和家长需要提供FSA ID. 

如果你的亲生父母结婚了, 只有一个需要创建ID, 你只能邀请他们去FAFSA. 

如果你的亲生父母再婚了, both your parents and your step-parent will need to create FSA IDs, 你需要在你的FAFSA上邀请他们两个.

点击开始 创建你的FSA ID. 

你会发现下面的建议很有用!

• Use an email address that you can access at any given time.
• Verify that your Social Security Number and DOB are correct. (If your name, SSN and/or DOB does not match up with the Social Security Administration this could cause significant delays, 因为他们验证了你的身份.)
• You will be required to pick two challenge questions that FSA provides and two that you must create. Be sure to pick and create challenge questions that require facts for answers. 例:我妈妈的名字是什么?)
• 一旦您输入了所有必需的字段, FSA will immediately send a code to the email address you provided at the beginning. You will also have the option to link your mobile phone number to your FSA ID, 哪些也必须验证. Enter the code(s) and you should receive confirmation that your FSA ID has been created. You will then be ready to log in and begin completing the FAFSA.

How to Get an FSAID for Individuals without a Social Security Number
