Creating an FSA ID 
We strongly recommend you create an FSA ID, a username and password combination that allows you to sign your FAFSA form electronically. Your FSA ID also can be used to access the myStudentAid app, sign loan contracts, and access certain information online.

Find out how to get an FSA ID and what to do if you forgot your FSA ID.
