Pin Number - www.pin.ed.gov
Your federal Personal Identification Number (PIN) can be used each year to electronically apply for federal student aid and access your Federal Student Aid records online. Your PIN serves as your electronic signature and provides access to your personal records, so you should never give your PIN to anyone, including commercial services that offer to help you complete your FAFSA. Be sure to keep your PIN in a safe place. For dependent students, at least one parent will need a individual PIN in their name to sign the FAFSA.
The Social Security Numbers (SSN), names, and dates of birth data entered by the student and/or parent are transmitted for match with the Social Security Administration. If a SSN, name, and date of birth are matched, the PIN remains valid and becomes a permanent PIN.
- If you lose your Pin, just access the site and "Request a Duplicate" and "Display Now" for immediate display of your PIN number.
